This is a loving portrait of concert pianist Emanuel Ax as told by his friends and admirers such as Yo-Yo Ma, John Williams, Itzhak Perlman, and others.
This is a sweet biography of a man I never knew of but who has been a force in music for decades. As he says he's been playing Carnegie Hall for 60 years. Its a film that is going to make you feel good and smile.
This film is pretty much perfect, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Its bad in that there is no real surprises because it hits every point for a feel good doc exactly right. At the same time the film so enjoyable because the film hits every point for a feel good documentary exactly right.
Quibbling aside I love this film and had a blast watching.
Recommended.
