Under Greg Berman’s adept direction and rapturous delivery, the film is well crafted with first-rate cinematography by Nicolas Murphy. The clever use of flash-back footage – which is intertwined with the stand-up performance – aids the recital and will help to keep viewers engaged. During the performance, the protagonist is shot with close-up cinematography which gives a poignant intimacy that is guaranteed to draw in empathy and compassion. Berman’s portrayal is crammed with authenticity that supports the make-belief of the narrative. His wit, comedic style and gushy persona creates entertaining observation. Highly recommended.
