Thank You Very Much Reviews

...Thank You Very Much...is too conventional...but the archive material is so good and some of the testimonies are so revealing that the documentary is equally valuable...[Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 21, 2025

(I)t doesn’t simply throw up its hands and declare Kaufman to be ultimately unknowable.

| Apr 17, 2025

Still an engaging motion picture especially excelling in eschewing concrete answers about this comedy legend.

| Apr 14, 2025

For the most part, Thank You Very Much works, and provides some insight into an artist who still (and probably always will) remain a mystery to us.

| Apr 4, 2025

Braverman wisely does not try to imitate Kaufman’s style in the film, instead opting to explore his career through old footage and conversations with people who knew him.

| Apr 4, 2025

"Thank You Very Much" celebrates Andy Kaufman without ever attempting to deconstruct him.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 3, 2025

Braverman has a number of aces up his sleeve, including a wealth of interviews filmed in the 1990s.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 31, 2025

Mostly, Thank You Very Much serves as a fitting tribute to Andy Kaufman's work. It's fun to reminisce about his wild antics and even more so to realize that the filmmaker may be up to his own.

| Mar 31, 2025

Thank You Very Much is an honest and probing film about the complicated life of Andy Kaufman, refusing to water down its subject for the benefit of an audience who might be looking for nostalgia.

| Mar 31, 2025

Comedy fans should run to see Thank You Very Much. There are few comedians who felt as confrontational and self-flagellating as Kaufman, and Braverman captures that pain despite his subject’s death.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 30, 2025

Of what value is a talking-head documentary when every head in it belongs to a known, gleeful liar?

| Mar 29, 2025

A long overdue exploration into the all-too-short life of a one-of-a-kind comedic genius.

| Mar 28, 2025

It’s very clear that Braverman has a lot of respect and reverence for his subject, and it’s worth a watch for those who are curious about this goofy guy who used to slap on a foreign accent and play with bongos & people’s perceptions.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 28, 2025

Doesn’t really break any new ground not explored by the several previous Kaufman docs.

| Mar 28, 2025

There are some odd editing choices, but otherwise it’s a worthy watch for Kaufman’s diehard fans as well as those of us who never got him at all.

| Mar 28, 2025

"It was conceptual and it was pure," Michaels says of Andy's 'Gatsby' bit. "I wish I could say it was popular."

| Mar 28, 2025

Braverman’s approach, in which he mostly relies on Kaufman to tell his own story through extensive and deftly edited vintage footage, is the right one.

| Mar 28, 2025

[Kaufman] was a singular talent who broke the rules and paved the way for much of what entertainment has become. Thank You Very Much provides the biographical foundation so you can draw the lines.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 28, 2025

I was maybe 98 percent sure that “Thank You Very Much” wasn’t going to end with the reveal that Kaufman actually faked his own death in 1984. Okay, 97 percent.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 28, 2025

It reveals just enough about Kaufman to put his comedic career into a personal context but not enough to ruin the inherent mystery of the man...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 28, 2025
