  • Summary: And Everything Is Going Fine provides an intimate portrait of master monologist Spalding Gray, as described by his most critical, irreverent and insightful biographer: Spalding Gray. Director Steven Soderbergh, who collaborated with Gray on Gray’s Anatomy (1996), has sifted through rare and d revealing footage to construct a riveting final monologue. There are glimpses of Gray’s father, and of his son Forrest (who provides soaring music for the end credits), but mostly this is an inspired one-man show, a bittersweet display of Spalding’s playful and embattled intelligence, his gift for tracking universal truths by looking himself squarely in the eye.(IFC Films)… Expand

    It does justice to a subject who made his life and death works of art.

    Soderbergh imposes a shape until the film begins to feel less like puzzle pieces in search of their place and more like one seamless picture: It's almost as if, with this collage of the artist's past work, he's created an entirely new final monologue for Gray.

    Soderbergh does his best with limited time, but his biggest success may be in pushing viewers home, to watch Gray's films in full.

    The laziness of this filmmaking (which assumes you know that Gray killed himself in 2004) is of a piece with the emphatically uninteresting tales told by a classic dinner-party bore who once referred to his ramblings as "creative narcissism." He was half-right.

    If you're a fan of Spalding Gray AND Steven Soderbergh, the last filmic biography of Gray is both prophetic and generous (plenty of foreshadows and storytelling kindness from Gray). The film says nothing of Gray's suicidal jump from the Staten Island Ferry (though it is certainly not shy about Gray's take on his mother's suicide). In all, "And Everything is Going Fine" (the tragically ironic title from one of Gray's monologues) gives us more to say goodbye to, and I appreciated that chance to say thanks and goodbye to Spalding Gray again.… Expand
