Dennis Harvey Variety A predictably starry, rather standard, but satisfying overview of a prodigious career that is still going full-steam as the writer nears his ninth decade. Aug 28, 2018 Full Review David Rooney Hollywood Reporter This lively Kickstarter-funded tribute endorses that fellowship with admiration and gratitude. Jun 25, 2018 Full Review Ren Jender Village Voice McNally's life has the sweep of an epic novel, except that the novel's inevitable movie version could never have as much star power as his life did. Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network Every Act of Life is a very entertaining and sometimes illuminating documentary about Terrence McNally, one of the most prolific and underappreciated playwrights of our time. Rated: B Apr 25, 2020 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Here the interviews make the film, but the mood of it gives it a warm feeling while remaining very New York City. The film has a feeling, a personality of its own, making it a very easy to watch documentary ... Rated: 4/5 Apr 12, 2020 Full Review Alistair Ryder Gay Essential For theatre fans, this is essential viewing - and for those of you like me, who shamefully don't watch as many plays as they should, this is still well worth a look. Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
