[The film] offers a straightforward oral history of Ren & Stimpy, recounting the genesis of the characters, the instant controversy the series provoked, and Kricfalusi’s infamous battles with the network.

[It's] impressive as an engaging and exhaustive oral history of a groundbreaking show, but more so for being able to hold multiple truths about someone as simultaneously admirable and repulsive as Kricfalusi. Full Review
