3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but dated profile, May 22, 2009

This review is from: Bird by Bird with Annie: A Film Portrait of Writer Anne Lamott (DVD)

This is a film record of Anne Lamott's lecture on writing dating back to around 1998. It provides some insight into the person I consider one of the greatest writers of the Baby Boomer generation. But since Annie is so topical (and since this is in truth intended as snapshot in time), some of the material is dated like a Johnny Carson monologue. But it's still enjoyable and well worth owning for Lamott fans. I would love to have something similar that was made in 2009.

This review is from: Bird by Bird with Annie: A Film Portrait of Writer Anne Lamott (DVD)

After reading bird by bird for the first time it became a book I returned to everytime I couldn't write or I couldn't find any good reasons to keep on writing, or just simply when everybody laughed about my desire to bring words into the page, somehow Annie Lamott saved me every time, just like this film portrait will do the same, an experience to charge energy like those who attended her seminars.

This review is from: Bird by Bird with Annie: A Film Portrait of Writer Anne Lamott (DVD)

Anne Lamott is one of the finest writers of fiction and nonfiction in America! Her book, Bird by Bird, has proved extremely useful to me in my own writing, and in a Creative Writing class I teach. I will be ordering the DVD to show to my students this summer.
