What people are saying
Updated nightlyIt's a mixed bag on this documentary about Lorne Michaels, the SNL creator. The humor lands pretty well, with people enjoying the parade of iconic cast and writers like Conan O'Brien and Paul Simon. But the story and originality are weak, and the talk around Lorne Michaels himself is more negative than positive, with many finding the portrayal too safe or unsatisfying. Some specifically called out director Morgan Neville.
