Amazing and touching, 15 January 2005

A virtuoso effort.

This documentary is one of the best I have ever seen even after the fifth viewing.

"Tell them Who You Are" is about the great exploration of a father and son's troubled relationship.

It also shows the professional side of Haskell Wexler and has great interviews with many famous stars telling their tales of working with him.

Mark Wexler is truly a gifted filmmaker.

He is, dare I say, much like his father in that he doesn't sugar coat any aspect of this film.

It is a great film for all audiences.
