Jacob Bernstein creates a stunning and engaging portrait of his mother, Nora Ephron, the no-holds-barred, blunt, hilarious, and extremely talented essayist turned novelist, playwright, screenwriter, and film director. Deftly edited, this portrait combines home movies, interviews with Ephron’s family, friends, and colleagues, and wondrous video and audio clips of Ephron herself—as she expounds on her writing, her movies, and her I’m-always-right opinions. Bernstein, an accomplished journalist, allows us to see how Ephron continually struggled to strike a balance between the personal and the private while ostensibly operating by her own mother’s motto that everything in life was fair game for her work.
