Awards & Rankings
-
Pee-wee as Himself is a beautiful tribute that seeks to hone in on Reubens' complex private life, delivering insights far beyond anything he shared over his lengthy career. The editing perfectly frames the story, while ensuring the color, noise, and wacky nature of the man are not absent.
-
Wolf’s two-part film does justice to its subject’s thoroughly sui generis artistry — a rare blend of experimental performance, broad comedy and high, queer camp that caught imaginations of all ages — while giving due scrutiny to the off-screen legal troubles that unfairly threw his career off-course.
-
Overall, “Pee-wee as Himself” is a worthwhile documentary for fans of Pee-wee Herman and for folks who want to know more. But even at its most entertaining, it can be an emotionally difficult viewing experience.
