Gloriously, uproariously, there’s Rose Marie herself, sharp and tart as ever with total recall of every juicy moment, every conversation. A portrait of an indefatigable entertainer emerges, restless when she wasn’t working and fearless when she was. Read full review

An affectionate documentary. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

This adorable documentary places this comic survivor and pioneer on a pedestal and recounts an epic career that had her on stage with Evelyn Nesbit — the scandalous vamp of “Ragtime” — in the ’20s. Read full review

Jason Wise’s documentary, which relies on re-enactments and backstage footage with sparing use of performances, is a love letter to the performer but not the business, in which she managed to achieve a measure of fame for nine decades, while still being overlooked. Her single-minded focus on work is presented as admirable but also something of a curse. Read full review

Rose Marie was — and is — a fabulous talent, but this off-kilter documentary doesn’t completely make the case. Read full review

Terrific documentary on the incredibly multi-talented Rose Marie, beginning with her stardom as a 4-year-old singer and carrying the viewer through her remarkable life and career. There's lots of surprises here, and I found the film to be exceptional and totally engaging.

Rose Marie was one of a kind, and with her passing in late 2017, at the age of 94, we may never see another performer with her drive and natural abilities.… Expand
