Love her or hate her, there's no denying that Joan Rivers is a comedian of historical importance, the most successful female stand-up of all time with an influential career that has lasted almost 50 years. This exquisitely edited and humorous new documentary, was filmed as Rivers, self-depreciatingly honest about her desperation to keep working, was turning 75. In it she comes across as a warm, good-natured, unembarrassed egomaniac, but most of all, it's one of the best documentaries ever made about show business, about what it really consists of and what it demands. Showing a woman in her mid-70s still driven to pursue this life of stress and punishment, it offers insight into the performer personality. (R, 84 mins.)
