Spald keeps the attention of everyone for a good 90 or so minutes of just him talking, and that's all it is. No, really, that is everything that happens in this film

This, along with "My Dinner With Andre", are the only two raconteur flicks I can deal with. Unfortunate for SG's passsing.

A one-man show that works. It suggests that one man with wit, intelligence, erudition, and humanity is enough to remind us that H. sapiens might not completely suck after all

As with his earlier masterwork Stop Making Sense, Demme doesn't view filming a performance as something that requires less of his craft, focus and ingenuity than any of his fiction works. It just requires those skills applied in a different way. He presses in at the right moments, uses smart, subtle editing techniques to heighten the moments when Gray's story shifts, and generally finds a way to make a man sitting and talking for nearly ninety minutes wonderfully cinematic.

An excellent movie, although I guess it doesn't really have much to offer for repeated viewings. It's a shame that Spalding Gray is no longer around to do more like this.
