Joanne Ostrow Denver Post It's not meant to be a complete catalog or chronology. It's a beautiful interview piece with archival photographs and clips that will inform any viewer's appreciation of the performing arts. Feb 23, 2016 Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle Every time [director Elaine] May cuts away from Mike Nichols talking, you're impatient for her to get back to him. Rated: 3/4 Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Becoming Mike Nichols will make you want to go back and rewatch Stevens's gorgeous and definitely American film, but only after you've paid a nice, long visit to Nichols's greatest hits. Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience However, the film feels only half-baked ...[and] ultimately feels like a part one on a much larger work with sequels that never came to pass. Rated: B- Mar 30, 2016 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A short but sweet documentary on Mike Nichols. Rated: B Feb 28, 2016 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage Becoming Mike Nichols may very well become a required text in an introduction to narrative filmmaking course. Rated: B+ Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
