AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE provides an intimate look at master monologist Spalding Gray, as described by his most critical, irreverent and insightful biographer: Spalding Gray. Director Steven Soderbergh, who collaborated with Gray on the film adaptation of his celebrated Gray's Anatomy (1996), has distilled 25 years of rare and revealing footage to construct a riveting final monologue. There are glimpses of Gray's father and of his son Forrest (who provides soaring music for the end credits), but for the most part this is an inspired one-man show, a bittersweet display of the writer-performer's playful and embattled intelligence, his gift for tracking universal truths by looking himself squarely in the eye. "At the very first meeting I had with Steven to discuss making the film, he said 'I want Spalding to tell the story of Spalding,'" notes Kathleen Russo, Gray's widow and one of the producers of the film. "After that, there was no question in my mind about anyone else directing this movie. So I handed him 120 hours of Spalding footage, which became a 90-minute documentary, all told by Spalding through the eyes of Steven Soderbergh. This is a labor of love between the director, the editor, the producers and the family of Spalding Gray-a collaboration whose main goal was to have one more story be told by one of the most unique monologists of our time." Spalding Gray is most celebrated for his series of 18 monologues, including Sex and Death to the Age 14; Booze, Cars and College Girls; A Personal History of the American Theater; India and After (America); Monster in a Box; Gray's Anatomy; It's a Slippery Slope; Morning, Noon and Night and the Obie Award-winning Swimming to Cambodia. He performed with The Performance Group and The Wooster Group, and on Broadway in plays by Gore Vidal, Thornton Wilde and others. In addition to the film adaptations of his own works-among them Swimming to Cambodia, directed by Jonathan Demme, and Monster in a Box, directed by Nick Broomfield-Gray appeared in more than 40 films, including Roland Joffe's The Killing Fields; David Byrne's True Stories; Soderbergh's King of the Hill and John Boorman's Beyond Rangoon.-- (C) IFC

Some New Trailer For And Everything Is Going Fine
New Review For Movie And Everything Is Going Fine
Soderbergh's editing neatly duplicates Gray's methods, showing us how memory treats the same material at different stages in a life, applying those different coats and shades of lacquer.Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
This was obviously a labor of love for Soderbergh, and a fitting memorial to the artist.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
A brilliantly conceived documentary, one with uncommon respect for -- and understanding of -- its subject's life and art.
Dan Kois-Washington Post
This is not a standard bio-documentary. It is the artist giving us a guided tour of himself, through a mosaic of clips from his shows and TV interviews, craftily assembled by Soderbergh.
Misha Berson-Seattle Times
You're left with as rich a sense of this man as you would in a more typical work of nonfiction. But the film's deceptive, meticulous editing also reveals that Gray's odd ambition met a cultural moment in which it could take root and thrive.
Wesley Morris-Boston Globe
Think of the film as Gray's final monologue.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
it's as painful to listen to and watch as it is astonishing that I should feel this kind of connection to someone I never met, and never will.
Walter Chaw-Film Freak Central
It's all quite deeply moving, and if you remain untouched by the end credits, you have some self-examination of your own to do.
Christopher Long-Movie Metropolis
allows Gray to speak of his life and its significance entirely in his own words without any intrusive talking heads or academic pontification
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
Soderbergh's creation doesn't fill in any blanks about Gray, and the film is not for the uninitiated, but even ardent fans will have trouble warming up to every detail.
Liz Braun-Jam! Movies
Gray ended his life in January 2004, but director Steven Soderbergh and editor Susan Littenberg have resurrected the beloved actor and monologuist in a sort of performance collage.
Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto
A tangible emotional aspect and lovely quality of And Everything is Going Fine is that of a friend trying to understand the process that led to a loved-one's suicide.
Simon Foster-sbs.com.au
An absorbing, entertaining, amusing and wrenching film in which Gray tells the story of his entire life in a cleverly edited string of clips from various performances and interviews filmed over nearly 40 years.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian
The late Spalding Gray is the subject of this conceptual documentary, which cleverly uses the actor-performer's own biographical monologues to tell his life story. It's so well-assembled that we really feel like we get to know him in the process.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
It provides little insight into the actor/writer/playwright/monologuist's life that Gray does not provide himself.
Eugenia Williamson-Boston Phoenix
No stone is left unturned with the copious interviews assembled over the years interspersed with the one-man shows. This is a heart-felt documentary that needs to be seen.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
What the director does best is move back and forth between funny stage anecdotes...to deadly serious discussion of the stories's underpinnings...
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
touching, funny, tragic, heartening
Chris Barsanti-Filmcritic.com
...an incomplete portrait, but...a thoroughly arresting one for sure.
Bill Gibron-PopMatters
Absorbing documentary on the career of actor, storyteller, and performance artist, Spalding Gray.
