Deep dive into a under appreciated genius's soul.

I always thought Hammond had the most talent out of all the superstars he's worked with during his historic stint at SNL. His impressions were spot on and timeless classics that are still quoted today. With all that, I always felt he didn't get the recognition he deserved and I never really saw any interviews with him. This documentary sheds light on the man of a thousand voices like never before and I'm and even bigger fan after watching.

Honest look at childhood trauma

Darrell Hammond's story of a survivor of childhood trauma really resonated with me.

I like how he says, "I won. But I hobble." That pretty much sums up how it feels as we get older and live with our childhood trauma. It's not a matter of stuffing it away, or crying it out, or forgetting about it.

Being hurt by the very people we thought were there to protect us causes the brain to rewire, to try to make sense of what is happening.

This film is so powerful, moving, and sometimes funny, Darrell is a comedian.

We hear about some of the specific events that happened to him and can only imagine others. We learn how he lived with it, coped with it and has come to terms with it. He talks about medications, doctors, and his personal demons.

It brought me to tears.

A few of the more memorable lines from "Cracked UP"

"If you want to stay alive you have to come up with something." "You have to forgive yourself for the way you tried to take care of yourself." "To wake up one morning and bot be scared, wow." "Your disrespecting me devastate me. But -- is the world gonna end?"

Not an easy watch, but a necessary one

If you are familiar with Darrell Hammond, you almost feel like you owe it to him to at least give him 90 minutes to hear his story. It's a heart wrenching story laced with optimism and hope for us all. You might learn something about yourself.
