    Mesmerizing!

    This film sucked me in from the start. The view into the creative mind of Ron English was perfectly captured by director Constant van Hoeven. I knew very little about Ron English before the film but after watching it I definitely have an appreciation for the messages he communicates through his art. The documentary takes us all the way back to his childhood and brings us up to now allowing us to see the evolution of his art.

    I highly recommend! The Living in Delusionville documentary to anyone whether you're interested in street art or not. You will not be disappointed and will be challenged to see things in a different light. See for yourself!

    Ron English, Stable Genius

    Ron English, the well-known street and political artist, should be better known, and Constant van Hoeven's excellent documentary is the way to do it. With a groovy soundtrack, some of it featuring English's own band, van Hoeven takes us through the artist's development, from a crazed pre-teen with an 8-millimeter camera trying to outdo his friends' special effects (see how a 7th grader 'simulates' setting one of his characters on fire!) to the artist in his lair, deconstructing the commercial icons of our times. Go find the amazing faux talk show videos that English created with his wife - pure, brilliant performance art This doc has it all. Brilliant.

    Rich deep dive into Ron English's life and art

    Saw this at a film festival last weekend. It is pretty awesome. I knew almost nothing about Ron English's work going into it, and I learned a lot about the various periods of his artistic journey through life. Nice touches of the personal story as well, about his marriage and his kids. But the visuals of his sculptures that he uses for photography, as well as the street art that he did on big billboards for a long time, really make it great. There is a lot of footage of Ron speaking for himself, too, which gives you that authentic insider feeling about his motivations, his inspirations, and what he wants to communicate with his work. Great music as well - keeps you engaged all the way, even if you are not yet familiar with this amazing artist and his legacy.

    Wow!

    This movie is beautifully filmed, directed and thoroughly engaging. Ron English is one of those men who are brilliant and the film captures his creativity through color, humor and wit. As someone who came to the movie not intimately familiar with his life and work, I came away from the film feeling that I really knew and understood him. Even more importantly I came away truly appreciating his art and his artistic mission. The director, Constant Van Hoeven, was able to do this in a fast moving, highly focused film that was immensely entertaining while at the same time being enlightening and instructive. The world would be a better place if there were more Ron Englishes.

    I'm fascinated

    This film is a great trip into the mind of Ron English! I loved learning about his process, and more importantly his own perspective on what his art is about and how it evolved over the years. The guy is brilliant and also quite funny, and has had more influence than I knew going in. Extremely well put together, keeping you drawn in (sometimes docs have dry patches- no filler here) and also a killer soundtrack. I recommend it to anyone, whether you think you're interested in Ron English and that scene or not. The humor alone (his guerilla billboard phase, going on talk shows with his wife as a publicity stunt) and the humanity in the slice of his childhood and his own family journey made it appeal to people well outside of the art world like myself.
