"Weaving performance and interview clips into an autobiographical collage on behalf of storyteller Spalding Gray, Steven Soderbergh delivers a poignant eulogy." - Bill Weber

If you love Spadling Gray, this is a must-see. In contrast to Gray's Anatomy, here Soderbergh takes a completely hands-off approach. Gray's life is told entirely by the man himself, with clips from his monologues and interviews; no voice-over, no explanatory text, no testimonials. And not a single mention of his suicide, although it often looms large over the film. It's beautifully put together, creating a biography/autobiography that's consistently entertaining, revealing and poignant.

And Everything builds to a portrait of a man at ease with what he sees as the fundamentally entropic nature of the universe, a man who views accidents as serendipitous events to be publicly chronicled and describes his art as ascribing order to chaos. It finally emerges as a fond ode to a fallen comrade: someone who, with scathing humor and unrivaled self-knowledge, fended off life's cruel, random blows by exhibiting them for all to see and in doing so related something universally human.
