| User ReviewMorpheus OWhat a strange biography of a man I had never heard of before. His tale is as dramatic as what he may have written in one of his plays and mysterious and just bizarre. |
| User ReviewJoseph YHaunting, evocative documentary tracing the fascinating journey of Oakley Hall III, a rising Conservatory founder, director, playwright and visionary who started the Lexington Conservatory Theater in New York. A profound, almost indescribably, imperceptibly sad account at first, but later surprising, authentically inspiring, and uplifting. A must-see. |
| User ReviewSteve YTragic and haunting. Ideally you will this film not knowing the story of Oakley Hall III, but even if you do, this documentary is no less compelling. Begins as an arresting chronicle of the Lexington Conservatory Theater and the genius at its head, and ends up in remarkably deep epistemological waters. Don't miss this one. |
| User ReviewRandy Lyou want to get upset? get all sad and beautiful about something? watch this. |
| User ReviewJoel KI am glad I saw this film, just to know about Oakley Hall III as a playwright before his terrible accident, and after, now, as he is. Profoundly changed, human, vulnerable, tender, curious, learning. I was really moved. |
