Janet Maslin New York Times 05/20/2003
3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Rick Groen Globe and Mail 04/12/2002
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 01/01/2000
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Jordan M. Smith IONCINEMA.com 11/12/2020
Gray's Anatomy, in all its low budget glory, flourishes in its simplicity. Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 08/06/2019
3.5/4
Becomes a kind of strange examination of human existence; frail, idiosyncratic, and ultimately a kind of cosmic joke. Go to Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central 09/04/2012
2.5/4
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? Go to Full Review Read all reviews

S R @ScottR 04/27/2024 I was intrigued by the premise, but this is still bizarre. The monologue and its subtle juxtapositions were interesting. Saw on hbo. See more 06/15/2020 please continue with my show which I've been watching since the beginning! See more 03/08/2019 A lot of liberal agenda trying to brainwash the public See more 08/01/2015 Eye carumba! This is one of Grey's finest monologues. It makes me miss him that much more. See more 09/30/2013 Spalding Gray weaves a story about science, faith, mortality, and neuroses while Steve Soderbergh captures Gray with simplistic flare. See more camille l 11/16/2012 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. See more Read all reviews
