What does it mean to be a performing artist - first, last and always? Broadway legend Elaine Stritch can answer that. At 87, Stritch is still here, dominating the stage in her one woman cabaret act, torturing Alec Baldwin on 30ROCK, giving us her take on aging, her struggle with alcohol and diabetes, and the fear of leaving the follow spot behind. In stolen moments from her corner room at the Carlyle, and on breaks from her tour and work, candid reflections about her life are punctuated with rare archival footage, words from friends (Hal Prince, George C. Wolfe, Nathan Lane, Cherry Jones and John Turturro) and photographs from her personal collection. By turns bold, hilarious and achingly poignant, the journey connects Stritch's present to her past, and an inspiring portrait of a one-of-a-kind survivor emerges.
Leave your thoughts about Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me.
| New York ObserverRex ReedAt 88, after nearly seven decades in show business, Ms. Stritch is sharp, funny, brittle, caustic, demanding, exaggerated, critical (especially of herself) and infuriating. She is also elaborately unique and awesomely brilliant. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaStritch, in her trademark billowy white blouses and skinny black tights, or in bed, without makeup and without, sometimes, a lucid notion, reveals herself to be full of opposing emotions and desires. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineDelicious, hilarious, brutally honest up-close and riveting portrait of octogenarian Broadway/film/TV legend and still alive-wire Elaine Stritch will thrill her many fans and win her plenty of new ones. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertWhat a tough, difficult, talented old broad. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferWhat becomes a legend most? In Elaine Stritch's case, it's this riveting, unvarnished documentary portrait of the lioness in winter. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonChiemi Karasawa deserves all the credit in the world for the intimate and hilarious portrait that is Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me, a sparkling cocktail of music and memoir. On the other hand, she didn't exactly have to drag her subject out of her shell. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSince the brassy Elaine is mostly likable, even if self-absorbed, so is the straight-forward documentary. |
| Associated PressJake CoyleAn irresistibly entertaining documentary that captures Stritch during what she unsentimentally calls ''almost post-time.'' |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill ZweckerThis is a must-see for anyone who loves theater, acting and especially individuals like Elaine Stritch unafraid to bare their souls — so all of us can gain more insight into the complicated essence of the human condition. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThis profile of stage and screen veteran Elaine Stritch, shot during her 87th year, isn't a documentary so much as an improvised star vehicle; she plays to the camera through the entire movie and puts on a hell of a show. |
