A loving tribute to Gene Wilder, but perhaps a bit too loving. Not mentioned are his first two marriages, his broken relationship with his adopted daughter Katherine - who is not mentioned at all. Terri Garr, who co-starred with him in Young Frankenstein, briefly dated him, and who has been critical of Wilder's behavior at the time is noticeably absent. The best and most welcomed parts of the documentary are the coverage of Wilder's early years. Rare photographs, interviews, and audio from the man himself provide depth. Peter Ostrum who played Charlie in Willy Wonka and the Choclate Factory is a welcomed sight and provides great insight into Wilder's performance and technique as an actor. Nevertheless, the film, while mentioning Wilder's movies, generally is uncritical of them, particularly his later films. The only negative thing they say is noting Willy Wonka lost money. As Julie Nimoy is one of the executive producers this approach reminds me of the treatment of her father's first marriage in "Remembering Leonard Nimoy," which she also co-executive produced. Nimoy's divorce gets about 10 seconds of coverage -literally. A good film, but some noticeable omissions.

Lots to enjoy here for Gene Wilder fans. Recent interviews with the likes of Mel Brooks, Harry Connick Jr. (I must've missed the movie he did with Wilder...) and Alan Alda (ditto...) It was bittersweet watching the clips of Wilder's interviews he gave in the years leading up to his death. 2016 was a terrible year for celebrity deaths and Wilder's affected as many people as David Bowie's and Prince's deaths did. The fault of the documentary comes from its focus on the movies. The Frisco Kid is given way too much screen time...while Silver Streak barely gets a mention and nothing from The Woman in Red is featured. These two movies were important in his resume as they co-starred Richard Pryor and Gilda Radner. Two people who were quite significant in Wilder's life. Bombs like Sunday Lovers, Funny About Love, and Another You were not mentioned but probably should have been as proof that not everything Wilder was in was gold. Besides The Frisco Kid, the movies that get the most attention are The Producers, Willy Wonka, and Young Frankenstein. The latter is probably peak Wilder for his career as the story was his idea and he co-wrote the screenplay with Brooks. Willy Wonka was a troubled production from Quaker Oats Cereal and did not perform well initially at the theater (its status as a beloved children's movie grew due to re-releases in the mid '70s, annual television airings in the mid to late '70s, and video in the '80s). Wilder gave the movie an edge that stayed with children after the viewing. Not much is made of this. Basically, this is a celebration of his life, and for that reason it's worth seeing. It just could have been a bit more consistent in its rundown of his movies and dug deeper into his characterizations. But that would have probably made for a much longer documentary--which he deserved. There will never be another Gene Wilder.

Ludicrous MA rating on Netflix. Really? This was a kind and wholesome look at Gene Wilder as a person and his unique career. The last section of his life with dementia is especially moving. Though this documentary doesn't include all his work, all the obvious high points are explored . What's remarkable as a side note is the longevity of the now 98 year old Mel Brooks, who crucially helped create Wilder's career. His sense of loss is palpable. Overall this is as good a documentary as could done. MA must be a lazy marketing gimmick, since it suggests raw material. This is as sweet a production befitting Wilder's gentle persona.

A wonderful documentary on probably the gentlest human beings ever to become a movie star. Tracing his roots as a stage performer from the Midwest, he managed to impress none other than Mel Brooks since he was starring on Broadway in a production w/his wife, Anne Bancroft & he needed to fill a part in a script that he was writing which would become The Producers. And from there you could pretty much say the rest was history as roles in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Blazing Saddles (in a part Oscar winner Gig Young had to dismiss himself from due to his heavy drinking) & Young Frankenstein (which he co-wrote) & a partnership w/Richard Pryor through a series of comedies (Stir Crazy, Silver Streak & a couple of others) would solidify his legend. On the personal front he'd eventually find love w/fellow comedienne Gilda Radner but after her death from cancer, Wilder was lost until he partnered w/a hearing impaired therapist named Karen Boyer who he'd be w/for the rest of his life. Through all the talking head testimonials & interviews w/Wilder himself, we appreciate even now how much he gave us & how cherished we were to know him even though a celluloid screen would keep him & us apart.

Before I get into my review, I want to address a complaint that I've seen here from people about this documentary. No, the narration was not AI generated! It comes from his own audiobook that he did before he died. Too bad that the people criticizing this movie couldn't have taken the time to find this out instead of jumping to such incorrect conclusions. But I digress.. Remembering a life of fate and destiny! For somebody who was an atheist Buddhist, he certainly talked a lot about God. I don't believe he was actually an atheist, maybe more like an agnostic. Agnostic is just don't know for sure about anything, but you can have a belief, you just don't know if it's true. I think that was Gene. I believe he did believe in God. He was just open to being wrong about it. His life was filled with evidence of God's existence as well, including so many brushes with fate. Too many to be mere coincidence. His life was filled with what I like to call Godwinks. And the beautiful thing is, he was open to the signs. He followed, where God led him. And his life was all the richer for it, full of meaning and higher purpose. He had faith. He was a good man, and that was made clear throughout this documentary. So many documentaries show that the people we like had demons. But if Gene had any demons, they were channeled through his work only. In life, this documentary shows that he was a kind, gentle, caring, and compassionate soul - who also happened to be very, very funny. In addition to comedy, he was also a great writer, and a great artist - as well as student of life. One word that kept popping up over and over to describe him was "innocent" and it was very innocent that made him such a good student of life. He never thought he knew more than life could teach him. He was always willing to learn, and this made him forever young at heart. It was this quest learning that introduced him to his last wife, that he was married to until death did part. But because I know that somewhere inside him, he knew God, he must be in heaven now, watching over his beloved. God bless you, Gene Wilder! You made the world a better place just by being the beautiful man that you were.

If you're looking for a celebration of Gene Wilder's life and career, as well as confirmation of his legacy as a beloved performer, this quickly paced 2023 documentary from director Ron Frank and writer Glenn Kirschbaum will probably suit your needs just fine. All his most famous work and personal details are covered - the fabled collaborations with Mel Brooks, his later commercial successes with Richard Pryor, his brief and tragic marriage to Gilda Radner - as well as none-too-revealing snippets of interviews with colleagues and friends like Brooks. There's even voiceover narration from Wilder himself from his audiobook of his 2005 memoirs. Still, the film felt lacking in providing what particularly drove his creativity and ambition and how he handled professional failures after he peaked with "Young Frankenstein". Other than "The Producers", little was shared of his more obscure films, his first two marriages, and his estranged daughter. His final years, however, were covered respectfully with his happy fourth marriage to hearing specialist Karen Boyer and his 2016 death from Alzheimer's. This film felt more like a conventional tribute than a revealing life journey.

I find it ironic that sometimes it takes something serious, like a documentary, to showcase the somewhat less than serious abilities of someone gifted at comedy, like actor-writer-director Gene Wilder (1933-2016). But that's just what viewers can expect from director Ron Frank's reverent but often-hilarious tribute to this iconic talent, one whose accomplishments in film, on television and on stage haven't always received the kind of recognition that they deserve. As documentaries go, this offering largely plays it straight in terms of its content and structure, exploring Wilder's roots in Milwaukee and chronicling his rise to fame, told in chronological sequence. But, despite this conventional approach, "Remembering Gene Wilder" offers viewers much. The film features a number of recent interviews with such collaborators as Mel Brooks, Carol Kane and Eric McCormack, as well as friends Alan Alda and Harry Connick Jr., Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz, wife Karen Wilder and an array of Hollywood production professionals. It also includes ample clips from Wilder's films, including "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967), "The Producers" (1967), "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971), "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)" (1972), "Blazing Saddles" (1974), "Young Frankenstein" (1974) and "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" (1989), along with his guest appearances on television's Will & Grace (2002-2003). And then there's plenty of archive video and still photograph footage of Wilder's family, friends, influences and co-stars, those who helped shape him and that he, in turn, helped shape. Most importantly, though, this offering examines what made Wilder unique as an artist and as a private individual, someone known for his singular vision as a comedic (yet vulnerable) actor and as a compassionate, generous colleague toward those he loved and worked with. There's also a touching segment examining his profound but bittersweet marriage to wife and co-star Gilda Radner (1946-1989), a heartbreaking love story that brought out these personal qualities in abundance and in a very high-profile way. The result is a surprisingly eye-opening look at its subject, revealing sides of Wilder personally and professionally that many outside of his inner circle may not have known. The overall approach of this offering may not be particularly inventive, but the result is well worth a watch nevertheless.
