About

If you enjoy intimate, conversation-driven documentaries and personal history, this is a rewarding, low-key watch; Not for you if you want lots of action, variety, or a concert-style energy like The Last Waltz.

Pros: intimate family stories; charming personality on display; short, easy watch | Cons: mostly talking heads; limited variety of scenes; slow to warm up
