Gilbert

The astonishing thing about Gilbert is the behind-the-curtain record it provides of the real Gilbert Gottfried.

Gilbert emerges as a tenderly observed, remarkably insightful keeper.

As an unlikely love story, this movie excels, presenting a relationship so affectionate and warm that it overwhelms the jokes.

Gilbert is less interested in the ups and downs of Gottfried's public life than in showing what we've never seen.

In Neil Berkeley’s documentary Gilbert, we’re gifted with intimate moments from the comedian’s life.

The insights offered from the almost two-dozen show biz luminaries are not always commonplace, and Gottfried is always an interesting screen presence, even when he’s far removed from his persona.

Gilbert exposes a wealth of unsuspected pain and tenderness beneath Gottfried's often thorny exterior.
