-
The man gets his due in Becoming Cary Grant, a moody jewel of a film that draws on Grant’s unpublished autobiography for much of its narration (delivered by actor Jonathan Pryce) and on a wealth of home-movie footage that provides a Grant’s-eye view of a bygone world.
-
Perfectly decent as an appreciative account of the great star's life and career, Mark Kidel's film aspires to something more. ... But it falls far short of the fascination of the 2010 Vanity Fair article that revealed all this in the first place, “Cary in the Sky With Diamonds” by Judy Balaban (who is interviewed onscreen here) and Cari Beauchamp.
-
Its only failings--and that is perhaps too strong a word--are a few re-created scenes of the actor’s acid sessions and some questionable or obvious juxtapositions of images. But the film has an interesting meditative pace and a kind of self-sufficient weight.
