At Stream Tracker, we take a look at American Splendor (2003), a genre-bending mix of fiction and reality that illuminates the life of comic-book everyman Harvey Pekar. Built from Pekar’s autobiographical comics, the film stitches together interviews, dramatized scenes and animation to turn the little rituals of Cleveland life — the office, the record store, the cigarette break — into something oddly cinematic. Widely praised on the festival circuit and the recipient of several awards, American Splendor remains a landmark of indie filmmaking. In this article, the team checks whether you can stream Harvey Pekar’s offbeat journey right now on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+.
