McKellen: Playing the Part: Directed by Joe Stephenson. With Ian McKellen, Frances Barber, Adam Brown, Scott Chambers. Feature documentary on the life and work of Sir Ian McKellen.
“McKellen is a great actor and no one disputes that. But I hoped for a documentary where he would focus on the creation of his theater roles, especially the shakespearean ones, and what we get instead is an hour and a half of small talk, light gossip and no real depth.”
