The Screen Addict Recommends – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰)

Every once in a very long while, you stumble across a film so unique and uplifting, that for 90 minutes you actually forget about all the terrifying stuff that’s going on in the world right now.

The feature-length doc 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲 follows Sam Cox, an incredibly gifted young artist who from a very young age feels an uncontrollable urge to draw “doodles” everywhere he can.

And when I say everywhere, I do mean 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.

This would be quite annoying and disturbing if it were anyone else, but the fact of the matter is that Cox’ doodles are quite brilliant.

His work evokes comparison with that of Keith Haring and Roy Lichtenstein, but I dare say that Cox’ sprawling pieces are even more daring and eclectic.

The doc doesn’t shy away from the mental health struggles that often go hand in hand with genius, and I couldn’t help thinking what an absolutely perfect non-fiction/fiction double feature this film would make with 𝗔 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱 (𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟭).

In any event.

Seek it out & get your fix.
