Life Itself (2014)



“I was born inside the movie of my life. The visuals were before me, the audio surrounded me, the plot unfolded inevitably but not necessarily. I don't remember how I got into the movie, but it continues to entertain me.” - Roger Ebert

This is a story about the most relevant critic of our time, late Pulitzer-winner Roger Ebert and man what an extraordinary journey it has been.  The film allows us to take a peek into Roger's intimate moments with movies, love of his life, and his love-hate relationship with review partner Gene Siskel.

Such a shame I rarely watch documentaries and this memoir made me realize the importance of documentaries - so real as they can be.

If you are a lover of cinema and life, you need to see this!

Be prepared to shed a tear...
