The film strongly evokes a certain segment of the American cultural scene from the 1950s through the '70s, though Plimpton continued working until his death in 2003. July 25, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

George Plimpton seemingly approached life as if it were a buffet table, and this compelling documentary manages to offer a sizable sampling. November 1, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
