4.0 out of 5 stars For a time when the world tries to bring you down
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...

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but dated profile
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...

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anne Lamott, April 19, 2009
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time, April 18, 2009
This review is from: Bird by Bird with Annie: A Film Portrait of Writer Anne Lamott (DVD)
Anne Lamott's writing or ideas are not worth the time of day. Let alone a film.
