Ali Wong: Single Lady (2024) Bill Brioux Wong’s utter lack of vulnerability and her cheeky swagger is cheered by the theatre audience because it is so brazen and because it sounds different...
Posted Oct 21, 2024  Edit critic review
The Movie Man (2024) Bill Brioux “The Movie Man” is not the story of one man’s crazy dream to build the ultimate home theatre in the middle of nowhere. It is about a shared escape, in a special place, plus popcorn.
Posted Aug 20, 2024  Edit critic review
Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes (2024) Bill Brioux In the right hands, a documentary based on past taped conversations can be very compelling and revealing, as it is in Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes...
Posted Aug 06, 2024  Edit critic review
Faye (2024) Bill Brioux After a few on-camera interview demands, Dunaway herself tells her story crisply and with candor. Clips of her from past interviews fill in some gaps.
Posted Jul 30, 2024  Edit critic review
Brats (2024) Bill Brioux Sure, McCarthy was trying to extend his career with this very personal reality show, but he also seems to be genuinely interested in learning from his past and grow past it, and that’s never a bad idea.
Posted Jul 09, 2024  Edit critic review
Unfrosted (2024) Bill Brioux Approach this movie as you would a bowl of Cap’n Crunch. Know going in that the sugar high will likely give way to deep remorse.
Posted May 15, 2024  Edit critic review
Let It Be (1970) Bill Brioux If you never saw “Get Back” because you didn’t have the time, “Let It Be” is for you.
Posted May 10, 2024  Edit critic review
M*A*S*H: The Comedy That Changed Television (2024) Bill Brioux That is a large cast, and just telling their story, albeit fleshed out by series creators Gene Reynolds and Burt Metcalfe, along with writer/producer Larry Gelbart, makes for a well-paced documentary.
Posted Jan 04, 2024  Edit critic review
REVIVAL69: The Concert that Rocked the World (2022) Bill Brioux [A] fascinating new documentary.
Posted Sep 14, 2023  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 18, 2023  Edit critic review

Posted Aug 18, 2023  Edit critic review
Being Mary Tyler Moore (2023) Bill Brioux Viewers who only know Moore from her toothy smile on The Dick Van Dyke Show or as Mr. Grant’s associate producer should find Being Mary Tyler Moore to be revelatory. This is a very recommended look at one of TV’s greatest stars.
Posted May 25, 2023  Edit critic review
Reggie (2023) Bill Brioux Reggie does touch on the racism Jackson faced entering the major leagues in the late ‘60s. His tale, however, has a far happier ending than Becker’s.

If These Walls Could Sing (2022) Bill Brioux Some of us can never get enough Fab Four but even if you’re not a big Beatles fan, I recommend If These Walls Could Sing.

4/5
Sammy Davis, Jr.: I've Gotta Be Me (2017) Bill Brioux This briskly entertaining look at the life of Sammy Davis, Jr. (1925 – 1990), is a portrait of a brilliant entertainer who tapped across the front lines of America’s racial divide.

Viewer Direction Advised (2018) Bill Brioux Awkward moments are actually where this documentary grows beyond the level of an extended home movie.
Posted Nov 05, 2022  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 05, 2022  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 22, 2022  Edit critic review
The Irishman (2019) Bill Brioux Scorsese’s maturity and range as a storyteller is sure handed throughout. There isn’t a single misplaced camera angle, or, despite the film’s long length, a throwaway take.

4/5
Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation (2019) Bill Brioux ... For one golden summer at least, there really was a beautiful truce in America. A generation united under a freaky rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” and got by with a little help from their friends.

Posted Oct 12, 2022  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 11, 2022  Edit critic review
Class Action Park (2020) Bill Brioux Visitors went because it was dangerous, proudly showing off scars the next day at school. That those were the lucky ones is swept a little too quickly under the astroturf throughout the documentary.
Posted Oct 11, 2022  Edit critic review
My Generation (2017) Bill Brioux It was more than the flowering of a music scene, it was a cultural sea-change... a younger generation overwhelmed their elders and defied their conventions.
Posted Oct 11, 2022  Edit critic review
The Go-Go's (2020) Bill Brioux Intercut with archival footage from the punk days and those MTV videos, as well as concert footage, the approach adds to the drama.
Posted Oct 11, 2022  Edit critic review

Posted Oct 11, 2022  Edit critic review
One Night in Miami (2020) Bill Brioux “One Night in Miami” is certainly timely and welcome. It is also one reason why it arrives with high expectations. That it takes four such dynamic, historical leaders and puts them together in one room should have led to more fireworks.
Posted Oct 11, 2022  Edit critic review
Tina (2021) Bill Brioux A kinetic documentary that can’t quite keep up with or contain her seems somehow appropriate.
Posted Oct 05, 2022  Edit critic review
Maggie Simpson in The Force Awakens From Its Nap (2021) Bill Brioux It is also 100 per cent The Simpsons with nothing but cheek shown to the Disney overlords.
Posted Oct 04, 2022  Edit critic review
