The New York Times
Because his fiction is such a quick, lively read, the makers of " Gospel" wanted to echo the sensation of breezing through pages in the film. But the documentary doesn't get near the prowess of its subject; it passes through your life like a minor daydream.

Village Voice
Modest and spare as it is, the doc serves as an effective induction into the Dick mind-set, which is left more or less off-camera. Writers are only interesting for what they've written, and for that you'll have to go read.

Film Thread
"Gospel" is clearly a labor of love, designed to appeal to fans and novices alike. Its goal is summed up neatly in the title card that ends it: "Now go read some PKD."
