Above all, the film is affecting, not so much for what you learn, but because it's a pleasure to share Sacks' company -- the slow, deliberate pace of his speech, his humility, his mischief, curiosity and wonder. October 23, 2020 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Director Ric Burns's documentary is more than doe-eyed saint-making. The film uses Sacks's personal and professional journey to articulate a defense of compassionate storytelling and storykeeping and of advocacy for the marginalized. September 25, 2020 | Rating: B | Full Review…
