Audience Member Ayn Rand was an incredible human being. If I could meet and talk to a single person (past or present) it would be her. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Essentially a shorter version of Ayn Rand - A Sense of Life. This time, the film only uses the information she actually spoke of during the interview. It still constructed a nice and clear image of what a brilliant character Ayn Rand was. The editing was perfect, ti cut and pasted all of Rand's speeches in a coherent way. Not as informative as A Sense of Life but still managed to be entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a great autobiographical documentary on the legendary author, Ayn Rand. It's great because she is actually the star of the show! She tells her on life story through clips of interviews conducted during her life. Anything else I've seen is other people talking about Ayn Rand, this is Ayn Rand talking about Ayn Rand. Like her or not, this will give you a different perspective of Rand the human being. Enjoy! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member For those that get a boner for Ayn Rand, this may be a flick they find fairly informative, but I can't say I enjoyed listening to her accent throughout a feature length. The quality and editing of the film is not too great either; can't say I would recommend this to anyone. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member No new ground is covered here for those that have seen "Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life", but this documentary is still worth a look. The entire film is comprised of neatly arranged audio and video interviews with Rand and accompanying visual materials. While the titles and intro graphics are nothing special, the selection of and ordering of the interviews is. The last ten minutes are especially well constructed and moving in combination with some well-chosen underscoring. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member If you are a fan of Ayn Rand you must see this informative documentary! This documentary reveals a whole new way of looking at Rand's work, inspirations and influences that are still significant today. In viewing this documentary you are treated to never-before-seen or heard materials from the Ayn Rand Archive that gives you a deeper understanding of how Ayn Rand became so influential. I recommend this documentary to everyone - you won't be disappointed while you view the surprising life story of one of the world's most-influential minds!!
