Kurt Vonnegut: So It Goes

About This Movie

Kurt Vonnegut: So It Goes is a fascinating dive into the mind of the author, presented in a raw, unfiltered way. The pacing feels almost like a conversation over drinks—intimate yet meandering. Vonnegut's reflections on life and art are layered with a kind of wry humor that only he could deliver, making the viewer feel like part of his inner circle. The documentary's atmosphere, captured beautifully by the BBC's Arena series, has this gritty, real feel, no flashy effects, just Vonnegut being Vonnegut. It’s distinctive in its straightforwardness; you get his thoughts, his opinions, and a slice of his life without the usual bells and whistles. A real treat for anyone interested in literary giants.
