"The title alone of Kirby Dick's alleged documentary Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist practically screams: "This is not your standard biopic!"" - Eric Henderson

This was... educational. And, in the end, as Flanagan finally succumbs to a pain he cannot conquer, moving. I have some reservations about Dick's approach (needlessly in-your-face).

An affecting film with a great romance at the centre of it. There's a lot of on-screen assault, but the toughest scene to watch is Flanagan on his death-bed, just a few hours from his demise.

Hard to rate since it was sometimes very hard to watch. I'm not into sm-stuff at all, but I can understand it in a way why he was into it.. kind of.. Skipped through the ending though, it was too painful

If you're capable of being grossed-out, this movie will do it in a variety of ways, so be warned. One particular shot I found too painful to look at. But it is a superb biographical documentary, touching, sad and fascinating, and as the cliche goes, but very literally hits the nail on the head for once, it is a look into the truly tormented soul of an artist.

A daring, very graphic, unique documentary suited to the extreme personality it portrays. It's heartbreaking by the end (as you can guess from the title), but it's also very exciting to see a man defying not only his physical limitations but also all conventions of society. The best antidote to the typical bullshit films about the struggling-against-all-odds disabled.

Nice idea for a documentary, but the nonstop parade of self-abuse and self-mutilation is just too disgusting to watch. And this is coming from a lifelong horror-movie fan who normally doesn't blink at the most outrageous gore
