After the death in 2004 of American theater actor and monologist Spalding Gray, director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) pieced together a narrative of Gray’s life to create the documentary And Everything is Going Fine. Brilliantly and sensitively assembled entirely from footage of Gray, taken from interviews and one-man shows from throughout his career, it is a rich, full portrait—an autobiography of sorts—of a figure who was never less than candid but retained an air of mystery. In essence, this hilarious, moving, and revealing film has become Gray’s final monologue.

Spalding Gray is a unique spirit who came alive during his "monologs" on stage and in public, and revealed his inner thought-world to us with sometimes brutal honesty. It is so appropriate and right that Steven Soderbergh made the editorial choice to allow Spalding to tell his own story, for it is all there in the filmed record of performances and interviews. Such a wonderful tribute from a man who shares so much with us, and such a powerful reminder of the void all who appreciate him feel with his absence. Long live Spalding Gray!
Criterion (as always! I love that company!) present us with a superb Blu-Ray, with a thorough range of supplementals, including an entire monolog previously unavailable, "Sex and Death to the Age 14". Highly recommended.

A wonderful documentary about the master of monologue, the late Spalding Gray
August 4, 2012
Format:Blu-ray
This is a great doucumentary about the late great Spalding Gray, who sadly committed suicide in 2004.
Directed by Steven Soderbourgh, this 89 min doc is comprised totally of vintage Gray clips, he talks about many subjects, including his mother's own suicide.
The 1.33 fullscreen image is has varying PQ quailties, some good, some not as good, which is of course is due to the source material.
It was quite sad to see the later clips from after his tragic car accident.
I wont say too much more, this is a must see for fans of the late Spalding Gray.
Also included is a brief making of doc. comprised of interviews of the filmakers.
But the best extra is a 1982 videotaped performance of Gray's first monologue titled "Sex and Death to the Age of 14", a treat for fans!
This great package from Criterion also includes a detailed booklet with an essay and photos.
Criterion also released "Gray's Anatomy (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]" as part of The Criterion Collection

Very interesting and important for better understanding Spaulding Gray's evolution, body of work, and suicide.
The technique of splicing together segments from the same monologue, but from very different points in his career, was unusual and touching.

Humor Only A New Yorker Could Love
Don't get me wrong. If I want New York humor I'll watch Woody Allen's films and read his books, even though he insulted all of us on the Left Coast in Annie Hall. Read more
