Review: "Being Elmo" is inspirational, thoughtful, heartwarming, and the best documentary of 2011

Film Rating: A Constance Marks’ documentary “Being Elmo” is the perfect companion piece to “The Muppets,” hitting theatres next week (you can read my review here). Both explore the impact Jim Henson’s legendary characters have had on the world, how the Muppets inspire the best in the young people who follow them, and how their unbridled optimism still holds relevance in our increasingly dark, pessimistic world. “The Muppets” does this through a fictional, celebratory meta-narrative, and “Being Elmo” covers similar territory be telling the life story of one of the most influential Muppeteers of all time: Kevin Clash, better known by his stage name – Elmo.
