Like other reviewers, I'm curious to know why the documentary was made in two pieces, other than the fact that it would be very long to watch in one sitting. In my case, viewing the documentary over two days, it definitely showed how Steve's life has changed over the years, certainly for the better. In that way, it's a very hopeful piece, one that proves how it's possible for someone to become more comfortable with who they are, more likeable, more relatable, etc. After seeing how much Steve struggled in the first half of his life, it's very heartwarming to see how much joy his entire life brings him today. Yes, the documentary is long and there are certainly parts that could have been trimmed but, like a lot of Apple TV+ programs, it feels like time well-spent when the final credits roll. Steve! Is an interesting study of a fascinating human being and certainly worth watching.

This is a great documentary about the comedian, actor, author, and art collector. It walks you through his whole career, in his own words, starting in Disneyland, of all places, and going to the heights of stand up comedy and then on into a long, celebrated career in film. It really takes you through a lot of entertainment history, and you get a sense of the man behind all the jokes, although I think it didn’t quite penetrate deep into his soul. Excellent.

"STEVE!" offers an enthralling journey through the illustrious career of comedic genius Steve Martin. This captivating two-part documentary provides a nuanced exploration of Martin's evolution, from his groundbreaking ascent as a stand-up sensation in the dynamic 1970s comedy scene to his intriguing present-day endeavors. With meticulous attention to detail, the first part delves into Martin's rise to prominence, capturing the essence of his unique comedic style and unparalleled talent. Meanwhile, the second part offers a fascinating glimpse into Martin's current life, offering viewers an intimate look at the man behind the laughter. Despite the occasional use of limited profanity, skillfully woven into the narratives of fellow comedians, "STEVE!" maintains its integrity and focus on Martin's remarkable journey. While drugs are addressed within Martin's comedic repertoire, the documentary authentically portrays his stance of non-involvement. With its compelling storytelling and insightful commentary, "STEVE!" emerges as a must-watch masterpiece, showcasing the enduring legacy of a comedic icon.

Two very different types of documentary. Its only after you finish watching both that they make a lot of sense, and you feel like you know Steve Martin and his journey very well.
