| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020

Would make a welcome addition to any film library on the Old Stone Face for both newcomers and those already familiar with him.

| Original Score: A- | May 29, 2020

While it doesn't reveal much insight into the man himself, Bogdanovich's love for Keaton shines through beyond its standardised format.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 27, 2020

For anyone interested in cinema and comedy alike, Bogdanovich's film should serve as the perfect introduction.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2020

Honest and modest tribute. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 29, 2019

The structure Bogdanovich employs with this absorbing documentary is an interesting one.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 16, 2019

Even while aided by a battalion of talking heads... the director doesn't really attempt to pry off the Great Stone Face.

The Great Buster: A Celebration is a fine tribute to a legend everyone should remember.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 4, 2019

Bogdanovich's comprehensive survey of the legendary silent film star includes multiple marquee interviews and properly situates Keaton as wildly ahead of his time.

Not a documentary but more, THE GREAT BUSTER is quite a lovely way to round out a year of modern classics.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 4, 2018

The subheading for The Great Buster is "A Celebration," and that's precisely what Bogdanovich provides.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 29, 2018

This movie lives in its black-and-white clips, which provide both a fine introduction to those new to Keaton's work, and plenty to dig into for hard-core fans.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 29, 2018

Werner Herzog: "Buster Keaton is the essence of movies. He is one of the inventors of cinema."

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 24, 2018

It's worth watching for the clips alone.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 23, 2018

Indeed, The Great Buster: A Celebration is at its best when it's just Bogdanovich pointing out all the great stuff in Keaton's movies, particularly Buster's mid-'20s peak with Steamboat Bill, Jr. and the stone-cold classic The General.

| Nov 21, 2018

It's impossible to watch and not get excited about the genius of Keaton's films in particular and the possibilities of cinema in general.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 10, 2018
