If you think the story of The Sopranos has been told to death, Gibney’s film is a convincing counter-argument. The definitive chronicle of The Best Show Ever.
-
The first 10 minutes are saddled with nervous, chaotic, overlapping editing that speeds through Chase’s biography to better focus on the show itself. Once the documentary takes a breath and starts telling a story, it suddenly becomes watchable. But “Wise Guy” ends by mimicking the show’s divisively abrupt final note, which leaves the impression that there’s a deficit of original ideas animating this endeavor.
-
“Wise Guy” is less biography than investigation, culturally and psychologically analyzing how Chase’s creation met America on the verge of shifting away from the white picket fence dream. But the most fascinating scenes are the ones where Gibney uses his interviewing skills to analyze Chase, or more accurately, has Chase analyze himself.
