Feels profoundly stupid trying to come up with a witty letterbox review for this.
I feel bad about my neck, my back, my pussy and my crack. Three and a half stars!
this documentary is just ok but as a smart, opinionated, harshly judgmental woman obsessed with romantic love, nora ephron is endlessly important to me and any glimpse i get into her life is so gratifying and beautiful
No other screenwriter (besides perhaps Amy Sherman-Palladino) has had such a big impact on my life as Nora Ephron. She wrote my favorite film of all time. She is one of my favorite writers in general. If you haven't read any of her memoirs or essays, you absolutely must. Her insight and wit were unmatched, and she was probably the only person who could get away with saying, "Blah blah blah" about Meryl Streep's many performances. I mean gosh, Steven Spielberg says he wanted her approval.
If I ever have a daughter, she will most likely be named Nora.
I love her.
I could listen to stories about Nora Ephron and hear her talk in archive footage all day.
Good doc but weird structure and those B&W “testimonial readings” are so horribly affected with some weird digital grain it makes the celeb readers look like they have black sand on their faces. Cool idea poor execution.
The framework of a rigid documentary taken apart and turned into an invaluable, personable artifact etched and embossed with some secret language, complete with some gleaming, radiantly gorgeous, golden tome that acts as a helpful translator. Simultaneously, a furthering of The Goddess Myth of Ephron, She Who Had Her Cake and Ate It Too, and blatant deconstruction.
Everything is Copy is on the same emotional wavelength as the indelibly affecting Jane Fonda in Five Acts. Neither are perfect documentaries, but both offer such clarity and raw honesty that even watching such a tender film feels like a blessing. As a writer, and even as a universally flawed human, this is inspiration, insight, and fuel for the soul.
