The film features commentary by Jerry Brandt, Joe Elliott, Marc Almond, Dennis Christopher, Will Sheff, Justin Tranter, Kristian Hoffman, and Ann Magnuson, and is narrated by Henry Rollins.
He leaves the music business and returns to his mother's house for a brief period before moving back to New York where he re-invents himself as Cole Berlin, a cabaret act, performing gigs at piano bars.
Henry Rollins narrates the film, and it features the following artists, who said that Jobriath influenced them: Marc Almond (Soft Cell), Joey Arias (performance artist), Jayne County (Wayne County & the Electric Chairs, Joe Elliott (Def Leppard[a]), Stephin Merritt (The Magnetic Fields), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Will Sheff (Okkervil River) and Justin Tranter (Semi Precious Weapons).
[4] Kieran Turner told the Gay Times he had no intentions on making a documentary and stumbled upon Jobriath's music unintentionally through an online ad recommendation while buying something else.
The recommendation turned out to be the 2004 CD compilation of Jobriath's music titled Lonely Planet Boy, which was produced and re-mastered by Morrissey, and released by Attack Records.
He elaborated further by saying it was a trifecta of events that hurt his chances of ever being successful, the first being that there was a lack of critical acclaim for his music, the second being Brandt, who over-hyped him with giant billboards, hundreds of advertisements on New York City transit buses, and full page ads in magazines, before he even had a concert or released any albums.
When he reached the top, it would then turn into a giant ejaculating penis spraying glitter all over the audience, and finally he would transform and appear on the stage as Marlene Dietrich.
[10] Andrew Pulver of The Guardian said the film is "one not to be missed", and the singer's story "emerges as one of rock'n'roll's great tragedies, a tale of hubris, misery and death".
[13] Inkoo Kang from The Village Voice thought "Turner is interested in securing a place in the pantheon of queer heroes for rock’s self-proclaimed true fairy..." and the film is a "reminder of how much we still need imaginative pioneers like him today".
