Nick E. @nicksmovies93 Jul 17 An endearing look at a television icon. See more Dena B @RT33513755 10/22/2023 Love Rob Reiner infinity. See more Alan W @PatronWong 07/20/2023 Conventional and chronologically structured biographical account of the actor/performer charting her rise to fame through two classic U.S. sitcoms of the 60s and 70s, HBO Max's Being Mary Tyler Moore juxtaposes her modern portrayal of, first a housewife to Dick Van Dyke and then as an independent career woman in her own show, with the rise of feminism and how the portrayal of women pivots, at least on the small screen, to play tribute to a pioneering TV career. Beyond that, the film is more descriptive and less penetrating, especially with her personal life and her marriages which feels a little fudged over. However, for someone like me, who only has a passing knowledge of her as I've not really grown up with her shows, it serves as a fascinating but perhaps cursory introduction to the groundbreaking actor's life and work.

It was pretty jumbled and it looses it's focus several times not knowing what kind of documentary it wants to me. It is fun to watch for the audio clips from her and many celbs and people they knew her (mostly without video). This one is for the fans and people just wanting to look at women icons of 60s/70s to waste some time but it drags on . .. . Most disappointing is how it wastes so much time on repeating things and skips over important information. For example it mentions MTM's diabetes but doesn't talk about it till the end and it focuses on that for long time repeating things . . . Also mentions MTM Enterprises but none of the other shows they produced or how she worked with people on other shows. . . . it also skips over many issues she had. It just wasn't good and was a let down. See more Megan e @RT58906942 05/28/2023 I really admire Mary Tyler Moore. I did not grow up watching her shows, but I've realized, and it was really highlighted in this documentary, how much of what I watched in the last forty years was inspired and followed her lead. Definitely worth watching! See more Read all reviews
