Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost

Ben Stiller has created a sweet, affectionate, unexpectedly poignant portrait of his parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara – and, perhaps without quite realising it, of himself as well.

...a fascinating window into not only the history of this famous family but also the beautiful and punishing nature of performance itself.

...Stiller’s film is less a look back than it is a look inward; as much a loving showbiz eulogy as it is a multi-generational meditation on the relationship between public success and private failure.

...a fascinating film, one that is really about family life and how the sins of the parents are visited on the children down through the generations.
