Great documentary. If you have seen it, put it on your list. Not necessarily a must watch now... but it'll stick with you when you do.👍
Love Roger Ebert and this is a great documentary about him.
A very moving biographical documentary. I watched this during a dark time in my life and it reassured me some.
Ebert loved movies and loved life. He knew aesthetics and had a moral philosophy. Now he's in that great movie theatre in heaven.
Very heartfelt, bittersweet, touching look at arguably one of the most influential critics of ANY craft.
A great dive into Ebert's life and a great narrative to keep the story interesting.
Roger Ebert was an incredibly thoughtful film critic and this documentary captures every aspect of his life that made him who he was.
Roger ebert seems like an interesting person
Really sweet movie about a cinema lover
Solemn and celebratory all at the same time, pays proper respect to one of the most respectable men in film
