"Exploring the Irony of Steve Martin's Life: A Smart and Charming Documentary Review"

Morgan Neville's documentary "STEVE! (Martin) A Documentary in Two Pieces" on Apple TV+ presents a bifurcated look at Steve Martin's life, with "Then" focusing on his early career and "Now" on his current life. While "Then" is criticized for its pacing and artistic choices, "Now" is praised for its reflective and sentimental portrayal of Martin's contemplative phase. The two pieces complement each other, but the separation creates frustration in this ambitious project.

"Steve Martin: A Revealing Double Feature Documentary"

Director Morgan Neville's documentary "Steve! (Martin): A Documentary in 2 Pieces" attempts to capture the multifaceted career of Steve Martin by telling the two halves of his story in completely different formats. The first half is a traditional archive-driven documentary, while the second half takes a more free-form conversational approach with Martin and his friends. While the documentary provides insights into Martin's career and personal life, it still feels like some aspects of his story remain untold, reflecting the richness and complexity of Martin's career. Premiering on Apple TV+, the film offers a glimpse into the life of a man who defies easy categorization and could likely have multiple documentaries dedicated to his story.
