Rating: 4/4 -- it's as painful to listen to and watch as it is astonishing that I should feel this kind of connection to someone I never met, and never will. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- You're left with as rich a sense of this man as you would in a more typical work of nonfiction. But the film's deceptive, meticulous editing also reveals that Gray's odd ambition met a cultural moment in which it could take root and thrive. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- allows Gray to speak of his life and its significance entirely in his own words without any intrusive talking heads or academic pontification Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Soderbergh's creation doesn't fill in any blanks about Gray, and the film is not for the uninitiated, but even ardent fans will have trouble warming up to every detail.

[Steven] Soderbergh has returned to fashion a documentary/tribute that's loving, moving and funny. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Think of the film as Gray's final monologue.

Rating: 3/4 -- Gray remains an incisive presence even after a car accident left him crippled in 2001. It is clear, however, that the fire just isn't in him anymore, and it's tragic watching his steady decline. Full Review

Product Description:

While Spalding Gray was a gifted actor who gave fine performances in the films TRUE STORIES, THE KILLING FIELDS and KING OF THE HILL, he was at his best playing himself, without a supporting cast. Gray was a master of the seriocomic monologue, and he rose to fame with a series of one-man-shows in which, seated behind a desk, he would speak at length about various events in his life -- his experiences making THE KILLING FIELDS in SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA, his struggle with writers block in MONSTER IN A BOX, and his health issues in GRAY'S ANATOMY. While Gray's performances were often quite funny, he didn't shy away from difficult subject matter, and never hesitated from revealing the painful side of his past and his own personal demons as he spun his tales before an audience or a camera. Filmmaker Steven Soderbergh worked with Spalding Gray on two pictures, and he's allowed his former collaborator to speak for himself in AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE, a documentary drawn from footage from Gray's monologues and interviews with the actor in which he talks about his life, his art, and the obsession with mortality that often surfaced in his work before he took his own life in 2004. AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE was an official selection at the 2010 Slamdance Film Festival.
