By Sidney Lumet

About This Movie

So, 'By Sidney Lumet' is this intimate documentary that really digs into the mind of a director who shaped American cinema. It’s not flashy, just Sidney sitting down and reflecting on his own films like '12 Angry Men' and 'Dog Day Afternoon.' The pacing feels natural, almost like having a conversation with an old friend who’s been through a lot. You get this raw honesty in his voice, and it’s fascinating how he touches on themes of justice, morality, and the human condition, which runs through his work. The practical effects here are just Lumet’s storytelling, no gimmicks. It’s a lovely, personal piece that gives you a deeper understanding of his artistic vision, and it feels like a farewell in a way.
