Rating: 3/4 -- What makes him such an interesting biographic sketch for a film, however, is the way Goodman undercut his own successes. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Lee aims to revive Goodman's legacy, using archival footage and thoughtful interviews with surviving friends and relations to create a portrait of a man who was quite literally too complicated for his times.
