It's like time travel.

It was like seeing Mark Twain without going through a time machine. Mark Twain did stage shows when he was alive and I feel like this captures it really well. Give it a view.

The best 90 minutes I have ever spent

An alluring story told in a highly historical manner while still being enjoyable and engaging for the whole run time. I cannot recommend this movie enough to any Mark Twain fan, history buff, or a person looking for a documentary to watch.

great job!

I love history and this movie nails it! Wilcikson is awesome in his rendition of Twain, his timing and commitment to the character are amazing and hard to do. Wilkinson did a great job! I will be suggesting this film to everyone I know..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Very entertaining!!

I have not seen anything this interesting in many years. Personally this movie is creative in a cultural sense. The humorous rhetoric is both relevant and historic. I would definitely watch again.

Magnificent Twain.

My wife and I sat and watched this film as I am a Twain fan. I was totally impressed by Mr. Wilkinson's performance. I found as I watched this actor that at some point there was no actor, it really was mark Twain that I was laughing with and listening intently to. Mr. Wilkinson's performance rivals the great Hal Holbrook as Twain. A truly magnificent performance and we hope to see much more from this great actor in the future. I'm a fan!
