Love, Gilda (2018)


Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Lisa Dapolito
Cast: Gilda Radner, Amy Poehler, Melissa McCarthy, Bill Hader
Time: 88 minutes



The story of the life and career of the late comic and actress Gilda Radner is told through old recorded interviews, home video footage and Radner’s diary. Other artists that have worked with her or been inspired by her are also invited to share their take on who se was.

This was a magnificent documentary. I have discovered Gilda Radner through the DVDs of the first seasons of Saturday Night Live, originally aired in the late 70’s. I was always fascinated by how funny she was and how sweet she looked. She had a mixture of strength and vulnerability on stage that always got to me. It was great to find out more about her and it is sad to think that she left us so soon.
