Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Michael W This docuseries about actor/comedian Steve Martin was really good. The entire crew did a fantastic job on bringing the legendary comedian's story to life. It even gives the viewers an in depth look into his life and what he was like in real life. If you haven't seen this docuseries yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Andrew K A beautifully told story of the multi-faceted and complex life of a comedy legend and a quiet man, looking for happiness, that ends in a very beautiful place. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Jason B Two very different types of documentary. Its only after you finish watching both that they make a lot of sense, and you feel like you know Steve Martin and his journey very well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review jack m I’m a comedy fan. I’ve watched 3 Comedy documentaries in the last few months. Maybe my attention span is too short but I did not like this in 2 parts. At almost 4 hours it’s hard not to lose interest. Steve Martin is obviously a talented performer but I feel his story could have been presented in a much more entertaining way. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Nonya B The 2 parts are very different. I liked the 2nd one more probably because Steve Martin was an active participant.

      Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) We never see Steve Martin [on camera in "Then,"], and we don't need to. That's how dense the material is. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A fascinating, relatable story for anybody living here trying to make it in the entertainment business. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone It’s tough to describe to someone who wasn’t there to see it happen... This is why Morgan Neville’s Steve! (Martin) is doing a huge public service. Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Should we be shocked to learn that a comedian’s life isn’t always funny? Not at all. Neville’s doc, however, gets so dull in spots even Martin makes a joke about it. Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media STEVE! (Martin) is a delightful retrospective for fans, and may be mind-blowing for viewers who only know him from Only Murders in the Building. Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Collin Garbarino WORLD Steve! (Martin) offers an honest appraisal of someone who only late in life feels comfortable with vulnerability, and it reminds us of the chasm that can exist between someone’s exterior and interior lives.
