There's something indomitable about her will to perform, and insecurity has been part of her experience for decades, it's clear. April 2, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Chiemi Karasawa deserves all the credit in the world for the intimate and hilarious portrait that is Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me, a sparkling cocktail of music and memoir. On the other hand, she didn't exactly have to drag her subject out of her shell. January 5, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Elaine Stritch's strength, along with the film's, comes from her honesty. She is herself, even when - maybe especially when - she knows she's being watched. March 13, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Really, the experience of "Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me" is the experience of being in Stritch's company for 80 minutes, and that's fine. Still I doubt anyone will walk out of this film wishing it were 10 minutes longer. March 13, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A delight in that we're able to spend time with as rare a creature as Elaine Stritch, but the film's human elements elevate it to greater heights. April 3, 2019 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review…

In the same way that disabled and older people shouldn't be called "inspiring" just for living their lives... the film shows us that the effects of aging for [Elaine] Stritch aren't tragic but just inconveniences and obstacles for her to work around. March 13, 2019 | Full Review…

As we see Stritch carry on, still performing into her eighties, battling the physical and mental ravages of time, it's obvious she was no sissy. January 5, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
