Product Description

Everything Is Copy - Nora Ephron: Scripted and Unscripted profiles the life of Nora Ephron, the writer/director who was known for her acerbic wit and whose films include such cultural touchstones as Silkwood, When Harry Met Sally, and Sleepless in Seattle. Written and directed by her son, Jacob Bernstein, the film is Bernstein's personal investigation into his mother's favorite motto, "Everything is copy" -- a philosophy that all that happens in life, good and bad, is fodder for comedy. The film charts Ephron's career, starting from an early stint as a reporter for the New York Post to regular columnist for Esquire, the New York Times and Cosmopolitan; her rise to become one of Hollywood's most sought-after writer/directors; as well as her high-profile relationships with celebrities in Hollywood and in the literary world; and, in her later years, her diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome -- an illness she kept largely a secret until her death in 2012. Everything Is Copy also features intimate interviews with many of those closest to Ephron, including her sisters Delia, Amy and Hallie, along with friends Meryl Streep, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and many others. In addition, Ephron's words come to life through video and audio clips of Ephron, and through dramatic readings of her essays by Reese Witherspoon, Lena Dunham and others.

Norah Ephron -- there will never be another!

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love everything about Nora Ephron. Her writing was so so good, so tight, and clear. It's rare to find a talent like hers. The documentary Everything is Copy was put together well. I watched it twice -- and maybe will again, because heck I own it. The story starts with her childhood, and moves into first and second...marriages ...and children....and parenting....early career, later career....and all the writing in between, whether for stage, screen, book or article. It also delves a bit into relationships, yes, with spouses, but also with friends, and famous stars. In the end everything is not just copy -- everything is "control" -- that's one thing that jumps out at you near the end of the documentary. Nora controlled the words on the page throughout much of her life -- so yes, everything was copy, even if "real" people and their foibles, were laid out for all to see in her prose. It remained that way as long as she was the captain of her ship, director of her life, and "wanted" outcomes were achievable. But when she assumed a starring role, in a story she didn't architect, and faced an illness where the outcome was not chosen, and yet became inevitable, it meant losing control -- and at that point...well, then maybe everything isn't/wasn't copy after all. Jacob, her son, does a great job in this documentary. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. Definitely worth watching, and more than once. You'll catch nuances and discussion you are sure to miss the first time around. Grab a cup of libation, sit back, and enjoy.

Nora, a woman ahead of her time, then behind the scenes but always heard, loved and remembered

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019

I rarely write amazon video reviews. But Nora Ephron is an amazing role model for everyone, especially female. This documentary does her significant justice and I applaud her son's courage in creating it for us to view :::As tears fall down my cheeks, I continue to type::: This is a must see for every woman under the age of 40, or a woman of any age facing change or who is questioning how to deal with power in what is still, let's face it, a male dominant world. If I had to choose one word to describe what I learned about Ms. Ephron by watching this doco it would be UNAFRAID. With that, I'm going off to find a tissue to dry my tears, but feeling comfortably powerful and remembering to remain unafraid.

"Her only problem was that she had an overwhelming need to succeed." Robert Gottlieb

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

Does anyone ever say this about a man? We were put here to consciously create success and have fun doing it. She had fun doing it. She succeeded. I do not see this as a "problem." And she was in love with Carl Bernstein. She didn't marry him to be more successful. But the fun both of them had being successful together was a "high," that's obvious. And the problem with that, if they loved each other??? Anyway, fabulous documentary. As for "Mixed Nuts" - it is one of my favorite films. Rita Wilson, bored to death, literally, slumped over her desk at the suicide hotline: "Doesn't anybody want to commit suicide?" That line made the film for me.

I have loved Ms. Ephron since she pointed out to me that being a feminist didn't mean that you have to hate men, That differences are to be celebrated and cherished. She proved that speaking your mind clearly and honestly meant that you might not always be nice, but that you could be kind.

This is more than a documentary about some famous lady that directed some sappy chick flicks. This is a love letter to Mother's everywhere. Thank you, Ms. Ephron, for making the world a little brighter and a lot funnier!

By the way her sister Delia Ephron's book:"How To Eat Like A Child And Other Lessons In Not Being A Grownup" is one of the best books you can ever invest your time in.

....loved Nora Ephron!

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016

Nora Ephron was an amazing presense on this earth. She was throughly delighted. A very cerebral woman with a delightful wit. I loved her books, I loved her movies, and now this documentary by her son, Jacob Bernstein. Jacob knows that he had an incredible mother. Every woman wishes she had a best friend like Nora. You will love this documentary! It answers the question WHY Nora slipped away even without her closest friends knowing. As a very public person she achieved the silent exit without anyone being the wiser.

Nora Ephron gave us hope that civilization still has a chance.

Nora Ephron is a dream companion whenever I read her, watch her films, observe her magical presence on YouTube
in a variety of circumstances that she illuminates with her wit and warmth. I feel deeply indebted to her son Jacob, Steven Spielberg, the
creative and production staff, and her family, for sharing her inspiring life through the production of, "Everything is Copy" in DVD form.
I can't thank you enough; she will be with us forever.

Julie Nixon - a Chocolate Covered Spider?

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

What Nora Ephron captured with brilliant insight and devastating wit like no other was both the imperatives and paradoxes affecting the relationships of men and women due to the influence of feminism. Her voice was unique. And she could deliver her points without dogma of any sort.

As a writer of fiction and screen plays she was less accomplished. Her work was either too biographical or too steeped in schmaltzy wish fulfillment at odds with her more important and original writing. In short, she was as confused as the rest of us amidst rapidly redefined roles of women and men that goes on to this day.

And it makes sense that she'd have nothing good to say about someone like Julie Nixon, the pre-feminist notion of an accomplished ideal woman: naturally beautiful, smart, educated and so loyal that she campaigned around the country defending a father who was lying to her and the rest of us. Say what you will about her, and she did, she's no chocolate covered spider.

I can't help but wonder what Nora Ephron would make of Julie Nixon's contemporary counterpart, Ivanka Trump. Surgically altered and successful in her own right, many cringe to think of her as the post-feminist ideal. Ms. Ephron, no doubt, would have some choice comments on that subject I'd likely very much agree with.

Was eargerly waiting for "Everything is Copy" DVD to add to my Nora Ephron Collection

Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2020

It is the summer of 2020 and we need to laugh don't we? The end of June, I started to do some investigation on Nora Ephron and I always loved her amazing prose. I have been laughing as I have reading generally all the printed materials that I can get on this late amazing New York author and personality!

In my research, I discovered this amazing documentary called "Everything is Copy" and I had to have it for my Ephron collection. I wanted to know this amazing writer, international author and personality, as generally, she got away with not letting her dear close "celebrity friends" know that she was sick and would die of leukemia in such a short time. If you've read any of Nora's books, you can't escape reading one book, one article, one essay or short story and not have many moments of laughter or feeling a definite smile on your face!

This DVD documentary is well produced by her son Jacob Bernstein and the historical background to early Nora to her death in 2012. Bernstein interviews many friends, family and celebrities who knew her well. My curiosity has been resolved and I enjoyed this DVD from beginning to end!

I'm a Nora Ephron fan so this was a true gift for me. I had seen it previously on HBO but I could not record it. Everything is copy is a video I can go back to time and again. I enjoyed learning about Nora's up bringing and a bit about her private life. I'm now interested in getting more of her books as well.
