"Wishful Drinking" is based on Fisher's memoirs of the same title. The stage adaptation had its world premiere in 2006 at the Geffen Playhouse in L.A. It later played at Berkeley Repertory before opening on Broadway in October at Studio 54. The show takes audiences on a comic tour of Fisher's messy personal life and career. The actress-writer recounts stories about her work on the "Star Wars" series as well as her relationship with her parents Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. She also discusses her much-publicized problems with alcohol and drugs.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Documentary filmmaking that doesn't collect facts but builds an argument. The director has a position and doesn't hide it — credit for honesty. You watch and know you're being led somewhere specific.

Not without propagandistic techniques, but the arguments are convincing. If the subject interests you — worth watching. If not — it'll overwhelm.

Good for solo viewing or a small group of interested people. Not for a party.

Director: Fenton Bailey
