The direction focuses on Henson's inner world, moving beyond a mere chronicle of his creations. Archival footage and personal reflections build a portrait of the man, not just the legend.
It's for those who appreciate stories about the creative process. The viewer witnesses the birth of familiar childhood icons and feels the vulnerability behind genius. — MovieFinder Editorial
