It's sweet, it's poignant, and it riffs on Roger's own quote, "No good
movie is too long, and no bad movie is too short." RIP, Roger...you've
earned your measure of peace.

CHICAGO—Calling  the overall human experience "poignant,"
"thought-provoking," and a  "complete tour de force,"
film critic Roger Ebert praised existence  Thursday as "an audacious
and thrilling triumph." "While not without its  flaws, life,
from birth to death, is a masterwork, and an uplifting  journey that
both touches the heart and challenges the mind," said  Ebert, adding
that while the totality of all humankind is sometimes "a  mess in
places," it strives to be a magnum opus and, according to Ebert, 
largely succeeds at this goal. "At times brutally sad, yet
surprisingly  funny, and always completely honest, I wholeheartedly
recommend  existence. If you haven't experienced it yet, then what
are you waiting  for? It is not to be missed." Ebert later said that
while human  existence's running time was "a little on the long
side," it could have  gone on much, much longer and he would have
been perfectly happy.
