Greta Garbo is always fascinating

The enigmatic Greta Garbo... Here is a new documentary that, with its title, attempts to find answers to where she went after her magnificent film career. The title is somewhat misleading. This documentary covers the entire journey Greta Gustavson aka Greta Garbo made from Sweden to Hollywood, highlights from her career and the reclusive life she lived after the floodlights were turned off. For those of us who know Greta Garbo and have seen/read about her before, nothing new comes out in this one. Nevertheless, the documentary is a must for film lovers. Greta Garbo is one of those figures who is always fascinating. The documentary has lots of clips of her both from film and otherwise.Watch it if you want to have a reunion with a real film star who came from nothing and who conquered the whole world before she mysteriously withdrew from all publicity.

Boring and I learned little about a compelling character

I love documentaries and was so excited to watch this and learn more about Garbo. This was extremely boring and provided mostly surface level information. More time was spent showing an actor holding a weird fake head in front of her own or flipping through papers than clips of Garbo. And yes, I understood the point of the fake head, I just found it an unnecessary waste of time. The film would touch on something quite briefly but wouldn't explore it deeper and would quickly move on. It left me constantly hoping for more but I was disappointed each time. Surely there is more information out there about a fascinating person like Garbo. Don't waste your time.

Conceit doesn't work

The actual documentary portiona of the film are excellent. In a huge Garbo devoté and I learned many things about her. But the bizarre and annoying conceit of the blonde wigged woman reading notes and repeatedly uncapping her pen is extremely annoying. Every time she shows up, balancing on her ballet slippers and reading notes im very annoyed!!! Her dialect and accent are so fake I can't stand it. She's completely affected and self aware and performative and it's truly awful. The actual footage is informative and well edited. I cannot imagine what they were thinking weaving the narrative with the wigged waif. Ugh!
