"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.
