    Hal is a 2018 American documentary film by Amy Scott about the film director Hal Ashby.[3] It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January and was released theatrically by Oscilloscope Laboratories[4] on September 7, 2018.[5]

    Summary[edit]

    The film is a celebration of his life and work set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America and an even more dramatic shift in filmmaking. Once the toast of New Hollywood, his rise and fall became another story of art against the film industry.[6]

    Reception[edit]

    Rolling Stone included the film in its "10 Best Documentaries of 2018"[7] and Entertainment Weekly included it in its "Sundance 2018: The 11 best films of this year's festival".[8]

    It earned a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. The site's critical consensus reads, "Hal pays affectionate tribute to a filmmaker whose offscreen life proves as engaging as his best work."[9]

    It was nominated for a Producers Guild Award for Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Pictures.[10]
