Largely, you get to watch a nice old guy waxing philosophical in his beloved vegetable garden, in his workshop or amid city traffic.

For every insight, there are a half-dozen meandering conversations and unguided reminiscences.

Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times

A collection of dry interviews and so-so music, it's better suited to public TV than the big screen.
