Janet Maslin New York Times A chatty, colorful, nicely sardonic account of how a crisis led Mr. Gray to assess his medical state, consider his mortality and take one more funny, self-dramatizing look at the eccentric world around him. Rated: 3.5/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Rick Groen Globe and Mail At best, Gray is a tragicomic Everyman who strikes an empathic chord in his admiring audience; at worst, he's a middle-aged, self-absorbed, hopelessly provincial New Yorker -- an urban hick who won't shut up. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Not only is it interesting to follow the course of Gray's storyline, the movie is also equally interesting to view, even if the storyteller is just sitting in front of a desk most of the time. Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Jordan M. Smith IONCINEMA.com Gray's Anatomy, in all its low budget glory, flourishes in its simplicity. Nov 12, 2020 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Becomes a kind of strange examination of human existence; frail, idiosyncratic, and ultimately a kind of cosmic joke. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central It is haunting, though. How could it not be, when the last lines of the monolog are "Ecstasy, despair, ecstasy, despair" and some mention of a big fish? Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 4, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

S R I was intrigued by the premise, but this is still bizarre. The monologue and its subtle juxtapositions were interesting. Saw on hbo. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Audience Member please continue with my show which I've been watching since the beginning! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of liberal agenda trying to brainwash the public Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Eye carumba! This is one of Grey's finest monologues. It makes me miss him that much more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Spalding Gray weaves a story about science, faith, mortality, and neuroses while Steve Soderbergh captures Gray with simplistic flare. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review camille l Passionner un spectateur pendant 80 minutes en ne montrant qu'un homme assis qui raconte ses deboires avec une maladie oculaire, c'est un tour de force que realise le genial STEVEN SODERBERGH grace a une mise en scene tres efficace, une image d'une beaute impressionnante et a SPALDING GRAY, qui degage un charisme etonnant. Le film tourne neanmoins un peu en rond dans son dernier quart d'heure. Une experience cinematographique a faire. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
