Documentary on the life and career of comedian Gilbert Gottfried. While this is a touching look at the life and career of Gilbert Gottfried, and it certainly paints a different picture of Gottfried of stage VS on stage, one can’t escape that the film is about as ill at ease talking about the man as the man himself is about being talked about. Those with Autism Level 1 or Asperger’s Syndrome may notice some traits of the disorder in Gottfried. A curio to be sure, the film is moving, warm and revealing. Word of advise: Do not watch with young kids, despite Gilbert Gottfried being the voice of Iago in the Aladdin franchise.

Available on Blu–ray, DVD & Digital Copy.
