Albert Brooks: Defending My Life is a 2023 American documentary film directed by Rob Reiner. It is a tribute to the American actor, comedian, film director, and screenwriter Albert Brooks.[1] In addition to directing the film, Reiner also interviews Brooks, revealing the two have been best friends since meeting at Beverly Hills High School. Much of the documentary is a conversation between Brooks and Reiner, who have been friends for nearly 60 years.[2] The film follows the life of Brooks from his early childhood in a showbiz family through his years in the industry.

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 32 reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Albert Brooks: Defending My Life offers an engrossing and suitably funny overview of its subject's career -- and one that'll leave you wanting to watch more of his work."[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 74 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[4]

Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film three and a half out of four stars and wrote, "This film will be a treat for anyone who loves any part of Brooks' career, or all of it. And its subject is so fascinating and open-hearted that one can imagine people who've never heard his name until now getting something out of it, too."[1]
