I've been thinking about this for a few days now. I wasn't sure how to put my feelings into words. This is more than a film about Ebert's life and career. It's more than a film about a man at the end of his life. It's both of these and so much more. They do a great job showing Ebert as a human. They show his get mad. They show him get frustrated with everything. You see Ebert and Chaz, his wife, at their most vulnerable. Seeing this was very powerful. There were a number of times I had to stop the film to wipe the tears from my eyes.
Synopsis
The only thing Roger loved more than movies.
The surprising and entertaining life of renowned film critic and social commentator Roger Ebert (1942-2013): his early days as a freewheeling bachelor and Pulitzer Prize winner, his famously contentious partnership with Gene Siskel, his life-altering marriage, and his brave and transcendent battle with cancer.
