You're Gonna Miss Me
- It's not easy being a pioneer. For proof, just watch this film about Roky Erickson, whose band, the 13th Floor Elevators, coined the term "psychedelic rock" in the 1960s. Targeted for his advocacy of pharmaceuticals, Erickson was busted for possession of a single joint in 1969 and spent three years in an institute for the criminally insane. This film covers his rise and fall, as well as his family's efforts to help him get his life back on track.

There's an undeniable fascination to watching the extensive footage of Erickson, whose yowling, manic vocals on display in the extensive archival performance footage contrasts dramatically with scenes of him in more recent times.

Matt Zoller Seitz, New York TimesA sensitive case-study of a promising artist who fell afoul of the system but still managed, with the help of family, to reassemble his shattered life. full review
Rafer Guzman, NewsdayDirector Keven McAlester thinks he's making Crumb, but he doesn't give you enough of [Roky] Erickson in his glory. You're Gonna Miss Me has the taint of exploitation. full review
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment WeeklyWith battered archival footage and celebrity worship, [director] McAlester skimps on perspective and complexity. full review
