Fantastic subject. Film could have been better.
In Richard Pryor, Icon, comediennes and friends talk about Richard, his journey, development of his own authentic voice, and his wide sphere of cultural influence. The cast is conspicuous for the many that are not part of this. This narration reminded me of grade school films about guppies.An extraordinary storyteller, nothing was taboo once Pryor blew the lid off his limitations and stopped imitating Cosby. But this review is about the film, not the man. I learned some things from this film.
Born in a brothel in Peoria, Illinois, his father was a pimp, his mother a prostitute who abandoned him when he was ten, (who he later reconciled with), his grandmother who ran a brothel beat him and also had a stack of Doris Day records that Richard used to listen to. He’d go to the movies as an escape; a fan of Westerns, he wanted to be in show business.
I enjoyed the film because it was about Richard Pryor, but ‘m looking for better documentaries about him than this one.
Rather Shallow Considering the Subject Matter
This is a pretty darned bad documentary. Not a lot of real insight. Bad statements from other comics.It’s just a mish mash of crap that goes no where. You learn noting you didnt already know.
It’s superficial pablum. There are way better Pryor documentaries out there.
