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.

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.

Becoming Mike Nichols may very well become a required text in an introduction to narrative filmmaking course.

Interesting enough but not that much different from Inside the Actor's Studio.
