“Riffing with a feverish intensity, interrupting himself with wry, conversational asides and precisely timed manic outbursts, Gray’s incantatory repetitions of key phrases and callbacks are almost musical in their syncopations. His descriptions are so vivid, you might later find yourself remembering things he recounts in the film as if you saw them with your own eyes. It’s the ‘My Dinner with Andre’ theater of the mind effect, or that old Alistair Cooke line about preferring radio over television because the pictures are better.” – Sean Burns, WBUR Arts & Culture
