Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Filmmaker Stephen Kessler's sheer delight in following around his boyhood idol, whose music framed much of the '70s when Kessler was a lad in Queens, is thoroughly infectious.
– Betsy Sharkey,

fresh:
The resulting documentary, at once endearing and dull, does indeed tell us about Williams, but it also tells us perhaps too much about Kessler.
– Moira MacDonald,

fresh:
For all of Kessler's annoying traits, he did get results. Perhaps a different approach wouldn't have yielded a film as satisfying as "Paul Williams Still Alive."
– Bill Goodykoontz,

What makes Paul Williams Still Alive successful is the relationship between Kessler and Williams.
