I loved this movie... partly because I loved Roger.

A celebration of the life of the most important film critic of the past 50 years, a man of the people as well as a film connoisseur.

Life Itself is not a film of mourning, it is a film of celebration. It is not a lionization, it is an exploration. But most importantly I think it is a film that Roger would be proud of.

Rating: 2/5 --
It's undercooked (we're not even told what movies he loved as a child) and a clip of the great New Yorker critic Pauline Kael speaking made me sit bolt upright thinking "Now you're talking."

A film about a movie critic might not sound an attractive proposition, but Steve James's biographical documentary on Pulitzer Prize-winning, Chicago Sun-Times journalist Roger Ebert (who died last year) is deeply moving.

Rating: 3/5 --
[Roger Ebert's] determination is heart-wrenching... The great difficulty for James is in reconciling these powerful sequences with the more traditional elements of a narrative documentary.

If you aren't moved by Life Itself, you ought to have your heart examined.
