Leave your thoughts about Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You.
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsAn alternately penetrating and poignant portrait of a true trailblazer! |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn entertaining documentary on the television writer and producer who pioneered socially relevant television in America. |
| Wall Street JournalDorothy RabinowitzThis is a story of a life of enormous fulfillment-eloquently told and openhearted as related by the subject himself, now in his early 90s, who knows, as he reveals, what to value in life. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongAn affectionate reminder of what an impact one writer-producer had on the modern world. |
| Philadelphia InquirerEllen GrayJust Another Version is less sweeping than Lear's memoir but filled with smartly chosen clips. |
| The PlaylistChris EvangelistaLear is clearly a pretty great guy and one hell of a writer, but some more exploration into what makes Lear and his work tick would go a long way. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderTheir subject is just too smart, interesting and philosophically astute to not be fascinating. But you crave more, and as Archie Bunker would fondly say, "That's the crutch of the situation." |
| Washington City PaperNoah GittellIt is worth the price of admission for the clips from All in the Family alone. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohWhile this documentary profile of TV groundbreaker Norman Lear is always interesting and affectionate in attitude, so much more might have been made of his life and career. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzWhile the film works as a primer for viewers who are curious about Lear but don’t know the details of his life and work, it’s more interesting as a movie about age and memory. |
