Les journaux zen de Garry Shandling

Being a bit too young to know Garry in his prime, I learned first of Shandling in Apatow's great jam packed interview book 'Sick in the Head.' The interview alone was enough to get me to check out the Larry Sanders show, watch old late night interviews on YouTube and invest time in Shandlings career..

This documentary expanded on the life of Garry Ten-fold in a truly beautiful and touching way. Judd has done a respectable and thorough job in showing us the life and mind of a comedic genius. I'll rewatch this one again for both entertainment and inspiration. Thank you Judd.

Apatow paints a finely woven, richly detailed journey of Garry Shandling's state of being. As a documentarian Apatow makes a most impressive debut, it is the best I've seen in a very long time. HBO has chosen the right subject and the right person to tell this deeply intimate fully formed biography of a brilliant comedian.

Comedian Garry Shandling died in March of 2016, his close friend and fellow comedian Judd Apatow now brings us a look into Shandling's life and the impact he has had on the comedic landscape.

I don't usually review documentaries because I don't know enough about the format to really say whether it was made well or not.

This is more of a recommendation for a film that really impacted me. Apatow does a great job of capturing what made Shandling so special and the interviews with his friends and family range from hilarious to heartbreaking.

If you are at all a fan of Garry Shandling's work or the history of comedy at this is definitely worth checking out. It's in two parts, both are about 2 hours long so it is a commitment but it's worth it.

The late comedian Garry Shandling was, without a doubt, funny. Sometimes falling-down funny, sometimes cringeworthy-funny. But always engaging. This documentary produced by his friend and writer Judd Apatow is outstanding. It's not fawning. But it gives a touching, honest inside view of the creative process. It's in 2 parts and it's long but not at all boring. I can always tell when a show is dragging because my butt starts to hurt. This didn't hurt my butt one bit.

Great documentary of an amazing man - never knew how troubled he was - made me cry
