Reviews
Even with endless biographical facts, he remains an enigma. Maybe that's why that third act is the most successful: Bogdanovich highlights the work, rather than the man, and that alone is a master class worth taking.
Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle
The Great Buster: A Celebration is a well-deserved cinematic tribute to Buster Keaton--one of the greatest silent comedy stars to have ever lived.
Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies
A well-deserved tribute to a star of the silent era whose films will be enjoyed centuries from now while today's Cineplex comedies will be forgotten months after they have been shown.
