Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Peter Kunhardts' intimate, cheery, cheering, charming biographical documentary on the ukulele-playing Omaha billionaire reminds us that not all moguls are cut from the same cloth. Jan 30, 2017 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post Aided by Buffett's remarkably well-adjusted three children and his still-surviving siblings, we get a picture of the intelligent, instinctively entrepreneurial child of the Great Depression, the son of a Nebraska congressman. Jan 30, 2017 Full Review Christian Holub Entertainment Weekly A great documentary needs some tension -- whether between the subjects, or between the subject and the director, or something else. Unfortunately, it's lacking here. Rated: C Jan 30, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is required viewing for everyone. For investors, it doesn't offer technical investing advice, but it does offer insights re the mindset of Buffet, and obviously it's worked for him. For non-investors, there are great lessons about how you go about living your life. From taking care of your brain/body, to minimalism, there's a bunch of useful tidbits that can be used to improve your life. As an investor watching this really invigorated my passion for investing and the investing process. The investing process (researching) gets a bit tedious after doing it for years and years, but Buffet successfully preaches the idea that patience is the name of the game, and it's a great reminder. So many of us live quarter to quarter, and money sitting on the sidelines burns a hole in our pocket, but those are bad habits to have, regardless of whether you're making money or not. This is a game for the long haul (from the date you decide to make your first stock purchase to the day you die) and bad habits only reduce your potential windfall or make your losses even steeper... so keep a clear head and try to rid yourself of these habits. I fully acknowledge there are a plethora of different investing styles, so I really hope this doesn't come across as 'this is the only way to see the light'. Lastly, for non-investors, I hope this documentary opens your mind to the benefits of investing. Regardless of what you decide, happy trails ahead! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty interesting. Didn't know anything about him prior to watching... good for him for giving away his fortune. Would have liked some more insights on how he chooses his companies though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/19 Full Review Audience Member Excellent documentary. It shows the impact people can have on each other. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A profusely adulating endearment to the person, the genius, the investor & philanthropist. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Heart-felt, real, inspiring, rational, useful with fantastic production value even.
