🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its portrait through intimate vérité, relying on fly-on-the-wall access to Kushner's creative process and public engagements. It explores how personal conviction and historical consciousness fuel his artistic output.
What lingers after viewing is the image of an artist for whom writing is a moral act, a continuous wrestling with the angels of history and identity. A compelling chronicle of conscience in action. — MovieFinder Editorial
