Lengthy at 3h 39min. Has some moments, mostly in the historical footage. I wasn't aware of Simon's foray into movies with One-Trick Pony in 1980; that was indeed Lou Reed. Accusing Graceland of "cultural slumming" seems so quaint; surely he'd be accused of cultural appropriation now. Simon is very, very NYC. It's not especially sympathetic to Art Garfunkel. Director Alex Gibney has form for these sort of retrospectives. Overall Simon is presented as an innocent songwriter-savant.
Robert Ito at the New York Times. Clint Worthington at Roger Ebert's venue: it's not much of a biopic. Peter Bradshaw. Shelley Duvall was there in a still.
