Dishonest, incomplete, shallow hagiography. Gushing gushing gushing praise for a man who clearly--despite what this "documentary" asserts--was exhaustingly over the top and narcissistic. Kept waiting for the honesty to come but it's just a huge boring brag sheet.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

It's incredibly entertaining spotlighting someone you probably never knew existed if you're younger than 55. It's topical and doesn't seem to paint a full picture but as already stated, it's very entertaining.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
