Audience Member I hear you, Maurice, and I get it. This brief documentary on one of our great authors and illustrators is not for most, I feel confident in saying. Too many can't hang with the morose, the dark, the subject matter Sendak speaks of here. Had this been longer, it would most likely be a 3.5 or better doc. Thank you, Mr. Sendak, for all your brilliant work, and thanks to Spike Jones for making this. Unlike others who, it seems, give this 5 stars largely cuz it's the guy who created Where the Wild Things Are and The Night Kitchen, among others, I rate it strictly on its own merits as a short documentary. 3.2 stars Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful documentary. I never knew Mr. Sendak was such an interesting character. He will be forever missed. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A sad, sweet portrait. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Maurice Sendak is an utterly honest personality that deserved more than the time given to him here to share his wisdom. Not a necessary companion to the "Where The Wild Things Are" adaptation, and if you like (or hate) one you won't necessarily feel the same about the other. A good understanding of a writer's motivations. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice break from all the feature docs that were never meant to be features. Short, informative and funny. This is what documentary film making should be. Dear Zachary fans (you poor souls) had better look elsewhere. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Short but informative portrait of Maurice Sendak makes a great companion piece Spike Jonze's "Where the Wild Things Are."
