Director Rob Garver first read Pauline Kael’s work as a young person in the ‘80s and says that the fiery passion with which she wrote about film made a deep impression on him. Kael undisputedly transformed film into an art form in the eyes of the public. Because of her writing, the pleasant weekend pastime quality of movie going suddenly became a must-see experience. The story is told largely through Kael's own words, which are collected from interviews, private letters, and published writing.
