...sympathetic interviews with collegues, friends and family give the film a quasi-documentary touch. The conversations soon reveal that even the people closet to Gould could not explain his numerous eccentricities, a fact that leaves many questions unanswered yet seems appropriate at the same time. Rather than trying to psychoanalyze the pianist, the film seems content to keep the theme of Gould open to interoperation. The film derives much of its humor from the ongoing bewilderment and second-guessing of his friends. Why did Gould insist upon wearing a scarf, hat and gloves throughout the summer...

...bottles of Hennessy. Despite the harsh subject matter, most of the songs are leisurely paced, with amiable melodies. One track uses part of Michael Jackson's Human Nature as its basic tune. Nas' rapping is dispassionate -- like an anchorman relaying the day's grim news -- but his lyrics sometimes reveal submerged emotion. "So stay civilized, time flies, though incarcerated your mind dies," Nas raps on One Love, a song about writing letters to friends in prison. "I hate it when your moms cries...
