    This is one of those the critics think you should like because the man was such a great writer, but the movie is boring to watch.

    Oliver Sacks was a compelling man with an ever more compelling story. Hubby thought the film was interesting at times, boring at others, but worth watching overall. Wife was enthralled as she's a fan of Sacks. There's no doubt this is a quality documentary film curated by Ric Burns. Hubby: 6.3/Wife: 9.3 Average: 7.8/10

    A warm look at the personal life and struggles of the author of "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" and many other works that explored the humanity of neurological disorders.
