Featured review
There was an opportunity to do something very daring / apropos / Kaufmanesque with the intro, but for some reason (fear of losing: the audience? Funding? Awards?) they only ran a few yards with it.
I still thoroughly enjoyed this doc as it was both a heartwarming and inspiring watch. While it seemed to struggle to find the right balance between "dissecting a frog" and "perpetuating a mystique", I appreciated the undoubted love for Andy that went into this.
Ultimately, I am just happy another Kaufman documentary is out there with new and interesting anecdotes.
Review is copy / pasted from one I wrote on Letterbox.
