"It may sound like an evasion tactic when a documentary keeps insisting that its subject was a nice, warm, beloved person," says Owen Gleiberman of R.J. Cutler's documentary on the comedy icon. "But the fascinating paradox of John Belushi is that he was a loyal, gregarious Midwestern sweetheart who also happened to be the living spirit of anarchy. Belushi, which in addition to the expected wealth of performance clips is built around an intimate array of photographs (plus Belushi’s handwritten letters, which are marked by a plainspoken sincerity that feels a step removed from his public image), traces the many sides of that contradiction."
