The Vogels' story is a very specific one, at once more unexpected and more moving than it might seem at first.
Herb and Dorothy, a documentary by Megumi Sasaki, grows on you just as its subjects do.
Herb and Dorothy are adorable enough, but Sasaki’s documentary really shines when she gives center stage to the grateful artists whom they helped nurture.
This easygoing movie fully captures the couple's charm and offers a unique look at the '60s and '70s New York art scene.
Seemingly limitless access is what makes the movie interesting.
Director Megumi Sasaki's film feels like a cozy visit with neighbors whose insights are priceless.
You can't hate the film anymore than you can hate Herb and Dorothy. But this is lazy work.
