Full Plot Details

This documentary captures the life story of legendary Hollywood producer and studio chief Robert Evans. The first actor to ever to run a film studio, Robert Evans' film career started in 1956, poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel. His good looks, charm and overwhelming confidence captured the eye of screen legend Norma Shearer, who offered him a film role. After a glamorous--but short-lived--career as a movie star, Evans tried out producing. At the age of 34, with no producing credits to his name, he landed a job as chief of production at Paramount Pictures. Evans ran the studio from 1966-1974. During his tenure, he was responsible for such revolutionary films as The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, The Odd Couple, Harold and Maude and Chinatown. By the early '80s, the Golden Boy of Hollywood was losing his luster. After a failed marriage to Ali MacGraw, a cocaine bust and rumored involvement with the Cotton Club murder, he disappeared into near-obscurity. Only through tremendous will and uncanny luck did he once again rise as the kid who stays in the picture.

Movie Reviews

Netflix - 10/10 by James RocchiBrilliantly crafted documentary about Hollywood legend Robert Evans may not be the unvarnished truth, but it is great, glossy fun.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Desson ThomsonHas to be one of the must-see films for any student of Hollywood fame and infamy.
Contra Costa Times - 10/10 by Mary F. PolsBy the end of the film, one suspects that you'd have a hard time finding an audience member who wouldn't love to sit down for a drink with the guy.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 10/10 by Mark R. LeeperGossip-magazine -level material but still this a compelling biographical documentary.
Film Geek Central - 10/10 by Austin KennedyIt offers a fascinating peek into the (not always glamorous) life of a Hollywood big shot. Full of insight, meaty tidbits, and not without humor, this documentary is one of the best.
Film Threat - 10/10 by Ron WellsI've already seen at least 20 documentaries this year. They've left me amused, sad, informed, bored, pissed-off, whatever. I'm willing to bet, though, that I don't see another this year as richly entertaining or as cathartic as The Kid Stays in the Picture. Is it really that good? You better believe it.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversThis stuff is golden. Directors Brett Morgan and Nanette Burstein make sure the movie goes down like potato chips. It's great fun and compulsively watchable. And don't leave before Dustin Hoffman makes a hilarious appearance as the credits roll.
Detroit News - 10/10 by Susan StarkFor a life lived boldly and productively if imperfectly, Robert Evans deserves this trenchant, revealing, vastly entertaining documentary.
The Spectator - 10/10 by Mark SteynThe directors know enough to stay in the background and their one stylistic touch is brilliantly appropriate.
UK Critic - 10/10 by Ian Waldron-MantganiIt's fairly absorbing, because tales of rise and fall usually are, but it's not very accomplished as a piece of cinema.
