Very affecting portrait of a great artist. Doesn't even try to justify his greatness, but to look at the thought process that made him arrive. While it would have been nice to focus on his individual works most would be over theatrical runtime. But we don't need an explainer about West Side Story, because the artist is the subject and not the art.

The hardest part is that you'd have to be a big fan of his and his life and accomplishments to even try to grasp the story. References to Americana composer and fellow gay man Aaron Copland are literally fleetingly referenced, and the movie's biggest scene is an argument about a time and place not shown in the film.
