fresh:
The new documentary on Joan Rivers is so in your face, so fraught with harrowing, oversized personal stuff, you might want to get a theatre seat a couple of rows behind where you normally sit, to safely take it all in.
– Stephen Cole,

Welcome to the on-screen psychoanalysis of Joan Rivers, of which she seems equal parts willing participant and antagonist.
– Peter Rainer,

A compulsively watchable look at Rivers, show business and the price one pays to try to continue succeeding in it.
