Beyond the Cinerama Dome

It’s always difficult to create something so deeply personal, especially in a documentary format, but Jack Has a Plan excels in showing the audience the totality of this man. It’s sentimental and heartfelt, but still accessible.

Moviegoing with Bill

It’s confrontational and uncomfortable, but also peaceful and filled with celebration and uncut humanity. A rich, frank, and honest film.

Rated: 3.5/5

[With] a low-key ghoulish humor…Jack Has a Plan bookends the moments of Jack’s emotional departure with an audio-visual scrapbook of memories and some lovely discoveries.

Rated: 4/5
