Beautifully shot, a lively jazz soundtrack and some interesting characters and good interviews.
Fran Lebowitz for me was the standout, and I could listen to her all day.
For me where it falls down is that it has no form of a narrative. A good story has a beginning middle and end. It takes you on an emotional journey. This felt more like a clip show.
Topics are brought up throughout, giving a feeling of a repetition rather than a story being crafted.
Maybe I should embrace the eclectic story, to match the eclectic people. But for me it felt like it needed a message of some sort to sew this all together.
