A very good movie

Ever since I heard about this movie, of course, I became really eager to watch it. Indeed, for more than 20 years, I have been a huge movie fan and, at some point, I guess a little bit less than 10 years ago, I stumbled accross those amazing reviews written by Roger Ebert. Eventually, I think I must have read 2000, maybe 3000 of his reviews and I always check them after I had watched a movie released before 2013. Basically, it was the first time in my life that I read such deep and knowledgeable analysis about films and not only was it interesting but it was also damned entertaining. Eventually, Ebert became the only film critic that I would be able to relate to and the only one I would actually really care for. Of course, being a fan and all, I pretty much already knew everything told in this documentary but it was still fascinating to go through the major steps in his life. I mean, to see this guy at a the end of the road, crippled and unable to speak, and yet still full of life, still creatively productive, it was just incredibly inspiring and increased even more the respect I already had for this man. To conclude, I'm not sure if this movie is really interesting if you are not into Roger Ebert's work but I really loved the damned thing.
