(Viewed in 14): Informative documentary that gives a broad overview of Lloyd's career and makes a reasonably solid case for his greatness. Lloyd was arguably underrated by critics because there wasn't much for intellectuals to hang on to; his everyman character was simply a populist embodiment of its time, not a critique or renunciation of it. This was both a strength and a limitation, and this documentary, while perfectly fine, should have explored this aspect of his work more thoroughly.
