A wonderfully composed and lovingly constructed film about a fascinating man. Mr. Bernstein has paid full attention in his long life, and it's paid dividends. His love of life and music, along with Hawke's love of Bernstein, are contagious. Catch a dose for yourself!
(And while you're at it, you may want to take a look at some of Bernstein's Youtube videos as well. There are lessons from his '80s instructional videos that even a non- player like myself found fascinating. There are some others where he's interviewed by Ben Laude on various artists and multiple facets of music on the Tonebase channel, at least one of which features an elaboration on why he dislikes Glenn Gould's Bach {and Mozart} so much, in case you're wondering after hearing his fairly brief criticism in Hawke's movie.)

I've always thought his song parodies were OK, with some better than others. The concept of song parody in general doesn't do much for me.
But an auto-biopic parody was a brilliant idea! And this one has an excellent and very funny script which the team executed well.
It was a pleasant surprise.

A short film packed with beauty and filled with gratitude for those on whose shoulders we stand.
