Tom M @RT77934561 Aug 20 I'm not a fan, but Brando is interesting man. A unique way of telling a story perhaps, through personal tapes and a digitised head. Would like to have seen more about the acting method and his experiences on film sets. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 02/06/2024 Those who know me well realize that my movie knowledge (e.g. facts and figures and awards) far surpasses the actual number of movies I've seen. I've woefully neglected many of the undisputed classics, and I'm trying to rectify that over time. I mention this because I'm embarrassed to admit that the only Brando performance I've actually seen is his cameo in 1978's SUPERMAN. The highest compliment I can bestow on this documentary is that I'm very anxious now to dig into Brando's filmography and find out what all the fuss was about. His life seems to be a textbook example of someone who seemingly has it all - abundant talent, otherworldly good looks, legions of fans - but suffers from a number of demons and misfortune throughout his 80 years. Had I known more about Brando, I think I would have gotten more out of the audio tapes and narration he posthumously provides. And at only 103 minutes, we aren't given enough time to really dig deep - I think this would have made a marvelous limited series. I was happy to learn about his work on behalf of civil rights and other minorities. And it saddens me that the end of his life was filled with such tragedy. If you're a Brando fan, I think you'd quite enjoy this reminiscence.

During this movie, I felt conflicted. Though it is the foundation of all those outstanding performances, you can feel Brando's pain. See more 07/27/2022 Another honorably crafted documentary of posthumously allowed intimate access to an icon's inner thoughts providing his modestly reflective take on the career journey providing insightful retrospect, further enriching his roles with astounding captivation by empathetic acknowledgement. (A-) See more 06/24/2022 First, let me say I knew Marlon for many years. I probably knew more things about him than many people and I watched this twice on On Demand and I was mesmerized. It is so like him- a lot of self-analysis and so on point with so many things. I was thoroughly caught up in it and came away knowing that the world would finally know him at least nearly as well as I did for the complex but sweet man that he was. See more 12/05/2020 A masterpiece, one of my favorite movies. A moving, lyrical and intimate portrait of an artist and a human being. I had no great interest in Brando prior to viewing, but the film is so incredibly compelling that you leave with a greater appreciation of him. I highly recommend! See more Read all reviews
