Leave your thoughts about Paul Williams Still Alive.
| GreenCineVadim RizovShort and snappy, Paul Williams: Still Alive adroitly juxtaposes an archaic form of fame with one of its practitioners' present-day survival. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoIt's the type of showmanship that earned the devotion of fans like Kessler in the first place and it's only natural that the director has made a film that will pass it along to new audiences. |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyIt's an interesting look at celebrities and the filmmakers that try to document them. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThe insightful, rueful, intensely self-critical and self-aware Williams delivers a harsh look at his own accomplishments, as well as at Kessler's process. |
| CraveOnlineFred TopelWhether it's memory lane or an introduction to Williams' oeuvre for new listeners, mainly it's just freaking funny. |
| NPRScott TobiasNeedless to say, the title of the movie still applies. |
| Paste MagazineChelsey GrassoThat's what makes the film so endearing - it captures that strange relationship between film subject and filmmaker, something that is carefully hidden in most documentaries. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThe resulting documentary, at once endearing and dull, does indeed tell us about Williams, but it also tells us perhaps too much about Kessler. |
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyDocumentary begins with the wrong premise but still emerges as a disarming portrait of a gifted songwriter whose fame has diminished since his heyday. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAn entertaining, emotionally inspired stroll down memory lane -- that is, for Kessler. |
