Sure, we hear from some of her friends and get glimpses of her early years, but this doc spends most of its time with her: watching her prepare and perform her one-woman show, dealing with her diabetes and listening to her muse about life, aging and the impending. She's as funny and ferocious as ever, but this offers poignant glimpses into the fragile woman underneath. She also sings! (Stay all the way thru the credits, because she just can't stop.) Expand

As hilarious and brutally honest, just as the woman herself--a tribute not to be missed. You'll laugh, of course, but you'll also cry and see behind-the-scenes of Stritch's smile, voice and fruitful career.

An un conventional documentary, as far as showbiz personalities go, in that this is more about its subject now rather than just presenting an A-Z on her life. The irrepressible Miss Stritch comes over with all her acerbic wit and directnessAn un conventional documentary, as far as showbiz personalities go, in that this is more about its subject now rather than just presenting an A-Z on her life. The irrepressible Miss Stritch comes over with all her acerbic wit and directness in tact, whilst allowing us an insight into her insecurities and vulnerability. The late James Gandolfini pops up as a recent friend, and even more surprisingly Alec Baldwin serves as executive producer. He can certainly be proud to have contributed to what is an undeniably well made and loving tribute to a fascinating and legendary entertainer. Expand

Quite a touching film with a lot of sass; Ms. Stritch proved until the end she had the chops and balls to keep going in show business. Her appeal spans further than just a broadway comedian and it makes me regret not having the chance to seeQuite a touching film with a lot of sass; Ms. Stritch proved until the end she had the chops and balls to keep going in show business. Her appeal spans further than just a broadway comedian and it makes me regret not having the chance to see her live. Expand
