Along for the Ride (2016)
A paean to an important Hollywood figure
30 May 2021 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Not so much a "Hopper documentary" as documentation of his relationships with a passel of Hollywood figures, most importantly his factotum Satya De La Manitou. Offers much fascinating footage and some incisive observations, but morphs into a hagiography, larded with laughably florid panegyrics and pretentious passages that echo the more dire scenes in Hopper's wildly overpraised "The Last Movie". Offers next to nothing on his early years and career and precious little on "Easy Rider", which is an observation, not a criticism. Largely accomplishes what it sets out to do.
