Spalding Gray is best remembered as a theatrical monologist who gained notoriety through his public displays of introspection. Director Steven Soderbergh, having collaborated with Gray in the documented monologue Gray’s Anatomy, once again shows a symbiotic understanding of Gray’s fragile genius. There are no new interviews or narration; this collage of archive materials is simply a chance for Gray to give one final monologue on the events of his life. The twist this time is the totality. The film is riveting as the artist’s posthumous autobiography, but as a contemplation on the value of a life analyzed to death, it is an invaluable and unprecedented experience. - Sarafina DiFelice
