An absolute treat of an interview with a man who has told other people’s stories wonderfully for decades and tells his own just as well.
Director Joe Stephenson paints a beautiful portrait, but the actor’s sensitivity, storytelling and strength of character are captivating enough.
This is clearly not a tell-all autobiography, but the story of a wildly successful career as seen through the protagonist's own eyes.
McKellen occasionally slips into the part of twinkly super-cool gay uncle that he tends to play in interviews these days. But mostly he’s thoughtful and self-reflective (and not at all gossipy about his theatrical chums, disappointingly).
