Tireless, ultra-talented and exceedingly charismatic, he emerges as a survivor in a film that spends too much time on his accolades and not enough on deciphering what makes this treasure of an octogenarian tick. Sep 11, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

"I wish everybody here...a long, long, long ass life; filled with a whole lot of...tons of...they say...love to share, health to spare, and friends who care." Because that's what life's really about.
