Where can I see this?


Anyone have any idea? God I really want to see it. Looks like a brilliant portrayal.

What the hell's wrong with expressing yourself?

Milwaukee Film Festival 9/29
Mill Valley CA Film Festival 10/9 & 10/11
BFI London Film Festival 10/18 & 10/20
Chicago Film Festival 10/18 & 10/20

We've got tickets for 9/29 and are really looking forward to it. But then again we flew to Connecticut just to see her in a live show a couple years back, so I guess we're fans...

ON Netflix for the next few months.

I found it at my local library, which seems like a good resource for films like this depending on where you live.

It's a passionate and ultimately very sad film, especially when you see the footnote, which optimistically anticipated a longer career for Elaine Stritch. I was hoping for more of a career summation of Ms. Stritch, but this is more the portrait of an artist coping with the inevitable realities of life than a look at her career's many highlights. It's still very good, but it could have been a bit more and should have been longer. 8/10 stars from me.
