I can't help but feel that this friction-free portrait, with its paucity of context and sense that Altman's innovations occurred in a vacuum, does him something of a disservice.

We never learn anything personal or troublesome about our subject, nor do we come across anyone with a bad word to say about him, which sadly leaves the film feeling uneven and distinctly unAltmanesque.

Documentarian Ron Mann's affectionate tribute to the filmmaker Robert Altman ...

This hagiographic romp through Robert Altman's inspiring/exasperating career never gets beneath the surface of its fascinating subject.

Gives due credit to an inspired and prodigious maverick while also showing how often reckless good luck guided his peripatetic way.

This is most interesting when it explores the least-known periods in Altman's career.

Unfortunately, the straightforward film doesn't probe deeply enough to reveal the creative psyche of the remarkable filmmaker Robert Altman, whose films didn't look or sound like those of any other director. [Full review in Japanese]

It's a tribute to Mann's film that it leads you from Altman's life back to his films, and makes you want to see them anew.

A genial but scarcely probing documentary about the great director.

A perfect introduction to a great American film-maker.

This ho-hum doc about the late, great American filmmaker Robert Altman is a disappointment.

A depressingly conventional exploration of American cinema's most fearless rebel.
