This really touched me, and I pray that all of the family members find forgiveness, love, peace, joy and happiness. Get out the tissues, but mostly in a good way. Australia needs to appreciate this guy!

Lister(s) to it
kosmasp15 July 2019
Documentaries have become a huge thing and there is one for almost everything and kind of "everybody". If it ain't a universal thing, it can be a certain person/individual who is or was an artist. Like in this case - but this case also shows that maybe we don't need a movie about everyone.
Now some will find interesting bits in this (about his life and/or views), which is more than fair enough (almost everyone has something going for them and some interesting thing/trait). So while I wouldn't knock this down entirely like others have, there are far better documentaries out there. If you are not already familiar and a fan, I'd recommend using your time more wisely and otherwise

A Reason To Forgive
juliancooper-935-757052 March 2019
I live and work around inner Sydney and have seen a lot of graffiti. I've also seen the word "Lister" scrawled on walls and roller doors, etc. Actually I saw the word "Lister" so many times it was starting to kind of bother me. I couldn't see the purpose.
Then I saw this documentary and it all made sense.
This documentary takes the viewer on a ride with an Australian artist who started out very unassuming, to becoming well known in "art circles," having major peaks (and perks) in his life (wife, children), to nearly losing his sh17.
There did seem to be some 'crying wolf' moments; moments where it seemed like it was building up to something, but then nothing happened.
A documentary I truly enjoyed watching. It was worth it. And thank you to Netflix :)

Boring, linear
ersbel9 February 2019
The documentary is boring and linear. School work. Maybe a bit more polished than school work. I particularly disliked the medieval morals: his life is good because he makes babies and stays with his god-given wife. Than his life is low and he does drugs and spends time with "easy" women.
And it's not the Listers. It is ONLY about one of'em.

Here it's all about killing fun and creativity

Few days ago I was reading an article in the news about an artist whose been charged with tattooing some young girl without their permission. He's been arrested and refused bail and been in custody ever since. the article was saying his name is lister and is the aussi version on Banksy. So as an art lover I had to do some homework to find out what really is going on. Australia and It's culture is all about boringness and working long hours at crappy jobs and paying Tax. This country doesn't deserve people like him. Too many narrow minded dogmatic idiots are in power and they are responsible for turning this country into a nursing home. He is better off leaving this land and going to America again.
Trash
jbnixa17 February 2019
This guy is a self important piece of trash . I watched the whole movie thinking there would be some redeeming quality, cause that's what he wants you to believe, while he's wearing a captains hat over his filthy hair and trying to sell his pop junk artwork. He deserves everything the universe dumps on him.
