  Edgar Allan Poe is one of my top 5 favourite writers of all time.

  I've always found it odd that there's never been a biopic movie about Poe. Surely one of the most intriguing and enigmatic figures in American literature is a worthy subject to explore on film.

  I love Kathleen Turner's smokey voice, the kernel kept healthy & warm in its husk. Bravo for this documentary film on EAP. ❤

  Edgar A. Poe was the first English-language author to enter my life. This happened when I was a teenager. Throughout my life I have bought and read thousands of books, many of which I have donated to libraries and to people I know. The book of Edgar A. Poe's short stories that I bought in 1981, however, remains on my bookshelf. Every now and then I like to reread one of his stories, because it helps me reflect on everyday reality in an unconventional way. I put this American author on the same level as Dante Alighieri, Goethe, Miguel de Cervantes and Virgil, to name just a few of my favorites.

  Well I must say that was such a bloody good program. Some one gave up on it because of the adverts. What adverts. They were so brief and you missed out on such an interesting program.. I didn’t know anything about Poe. I always thought he was English. Very talented and yet lived a lot of his life in poverty. A great writer and he was only 40 when he died. Very good.RIP Poe. ❤

  One cannot imagine the lifelong heartbreak he must have endured with so many women he was close to, dying. That said, brilliant doco and a mesmerising performance by Denis O'Hare

  As an avid admirer of Edgar Poe, since childhood (let's leave Mr. Alan aside),    I'm astonished how good, actually, this documentary is. I'm well four years past writers age at the time of he's demise. What I anticipated was another boring iteration of known facts about a brilliant author. You've surprised me! It's actually worth watching.

  Magnificent recreation of Poe's art, mind, feelings, figure, struggles and times, excelent personification of characters, great readings and vision of his inner demons, a full tribute to the poet who died at 40 and keeps on amazing the world 😮

  Ken Burns needs to do a two part documentary on Poe
