...questions about authorship: who deserves credit for a successfully resurrected film like “Heaven?” How can we discuss films like this in terms of artistic intent? But as compelling as unfinished works are as case studies, they often amount to significant violence upon a filmmaker??s oeuvre. Instead of being remembered as prolific, successful, and complete, Kubrick’s career will seem to trail off, leaving behind a collection of troubling uncertainties that will hover over his work long after “Lunatic at Large” has wrapped...

Ominous music plays as the words, “This is the story of one filmmaker??s failed attempt to turn things around” appear onscreen. Yet the documentary loses direction with startling celerity. Gone is the Michael Moore who sharply analyzed America’s gun culture in 2002’s “Bowling for Columbine...
