I realized after the first two hours, I had been smiling the whole time, ... It was a motherly smile, but also appreciation for a documentary really well made. Bob revealed more than I think anyone really expected him to. I think Scorsese gets some five stars for that. He done good.
I felt very definitely about Crawford, that, whether or not people actually stayed with it, a spark had been lit,
