The Devil and Daniel Johnston

Starring: Louis Black, Bill Johnston, Daniel Johnston, Mabel Johnston, Jeff Tartakov

Directed by: Jeff Feuerzeig

RS: 3.5of 4 Stars

Since childhood, songwriter Johnston has sought fame, and while his music earned him a cult following and props from Kurt Cobain, his success was always undermined by his manic-depression. Now middle-aged and living with his parents, Johnston might never be a star, but this doc proves what he's long wanted to hear: He's the indie Brian Wilson.
