    Profoundly Good and Wholesome

    This doco is like Steve's comedy. It's a beautiful, fascinating story about how Steve became who he is today. I'm amazed by his struggles as a performer in the early days and how resilient he was to continue on. Above all, I appreciate how wholesome and uplifting this was... a little like Steve's humour. He doesn't need to dive in to dark places, insult people or get too political. Neither does this doco. I would only recommend this to those who are Steve Martin fans, would like a bit of nostalgia and an insight into who he is. Watching this brought back those feelings of simpler times. I miss those days.

    Steve!

    2 part documentary looking at the life and career of Steve Martin. The first part, made up of classic footage narrated by Martin and friends, looks at his youth and aspirations and how, despite many challenges, he eventually became the biggest comedian on the planet showcasing his unique brand of comedy. The second half is up to date and spent mostly in the company of the man himself going about his work and life business looking back and analysing his successes and failures.

    Clearly a man who now more or less seems at ease with himself, he had clearly been through a great deal of introspection over the years and had suffered from panic attacks, a huge talent's typically bumpy ride with his father and bouts of loneliness and self doubt. His stand up routines and many films were not always well received and he frequently acknowledges this, chuckling it away - you sense though that this does nevertheless niggle him. He has many friends it would seem who all like him a lot, but frequently don't really get him and his private, hidden and possibly fragile persona, with the possible exception of Martin Short who Martin clearly adores and vice versa. A fascinating documentary then, culminating in a man happily married, with a child he had late in life who he loves to bits, stacks of cash and a hit tv show - and yet you feel he still feels there is something amiss. Amusing, in depth and ultimately a bit sad somehow.

    Improves As It Goes Along (Just Like Its Subject)

    Like other reviewers, I'm curious to know why the documentary was made in two pieces, other than the fact that it would be very long to watch in one sitting. In my case, viewing the documentary over two days, it definitely showed how Steve's life has changed over the years, certainly for the better. In that way, it's a very hopeful piece, one that proves how it's possible for someone to become more comfortable with who they are, more likeable, more relatable, etc. After seeing how much Steve struggled in the first half of his life, it's very heartwarming to see how much joy his entire life brings him today. Yes, the documentary is long and there are certainly parts that could have been trimmed but, like a lot of Apple TV+ programs, it feels like time well-spent when the final credits roll. Steve! Is an interesting study of a fascinating human being and certainly worth watching.

    A Solid-If Maybe Not Spectacular Due To A "Tale of Two Halves" Effect--Doc

    Other than enjoying Steve Martin's performances in a few iconic film roles, I knew relatively nothing about the man coming into this documentary-especially as it related to his stand-up comedy career. While "Steve!" certainly filled in a lot of those gaps, I found it to be "just okay" as a three-hour viewing experience in large part because I found one episode to be pretty clearly superior to the other.

    The first episode focuses almost exclusively on Martin's childhood and then ascent in the magic/comedy realms-to the point of becoming one of the most popular stand-up performers in the history of the medium. I had absolutely no idea that he had hit those heights and was truly a cultural phenomenon. I really enjoyed this installment and its ending understandably teased a transition to examining Martin's film roles and present-day life.

    While that second episode does ostensibly do those things, it does so from a very scattered perspective. Instead of the linear path of its predecessor, episode two is scattered. Martin's film career really isn't the focus-rather the result of reflections from his creation of a comic/sketch book of his life with an illustrator and just ramblings around Los Angeles with buddy Martin Short. There are certainly some stand-out nuggets in this installment (like Martin's newfound family life), but it meanders to the point of potentially being boring to some viewers. Unless you have a vested interest in Martin & Short sitting around swapping cringe-worthy punchlines, this hour-and-a-half might fall a little flat.

    Overall, then, I settle on a solid-but-not-spectacular 7/10 star rating for "Steve!" as a whole. Parts of it really struck a chord with me and filled in Martin's "cultural gaps"; other parts were simply too slow and inane for me to identify with.

    This is a

    Beautiful documentary. It is filled with kindness. Very few people I love and respect as Steve Martin, he is in the company of Tom Hanks, Jeff Goldblum, Conan O'Brien...His life story is both a hardship and a triumph of man. There is wisdom in the film, about work, family, friendship, love. I learned about him so much from it for which I am grateful. I read the other comments on it, some find it boring or just simply bad, I should learn from Steve Martin and should not say bad things about others, I just wish they watched a marvel action movie instead if they wanted a lot of action. I cannot understand how could they not find treasure upon treasure in this. I hope Martin Short will live as long as, at least as, Steve Martin will, I wouldn't want a world where he stops creating. This is not a perfect film but it is for me. Thank you for making it.

    • Trivia
      In a 2024 interview with Variety, Morgan Neville spoke about why the film did not discuss Steve Martin's famous "King Tut" song and performance: "To bring it up, then you have to have this modern discussion of what was Steve trying to say with it? That would be narrative quicksand. The reason Steve wrote that song and the context around it, which was totally lost, was that he was actually making fun of the consumerization and fetishization of ancient cultures in the West and all that. So that's another documentary. But again I was concerned with his standup story and where he was at that time. As opposed to what's our 2023 reading of something at that time? So honestly, 'King Tut' wasn't at the top of my list of things to put in the film. It was never a scene in the film even before the internet (controversy)."
