I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story

"[Fails] to fully capture the actual art of puppeteering, with woefully few substantial excerpts from the show itself."

"This sweet if superfluous doc shows that Spinney is Big Bird, a tireless performer who refuses to retire."

"It’s an adoring portrait — almost cloyingly so — with an emotional soundtrack that grates a little."

"Breezes by a couple of opportunities to dig deeper into thornier subject matter, but those minor oversights don’t hurt the film in any significant way."

"Shines a much deserved spotlight on this unheralded artist."

"An affectionate portrait of a big-hearted man and a fitting testament to the enduring appeal of Sesame Street."
