    Whether you're a devotee of Oliver Sacks or know him only as inspiration for Robin Williams in "Awakenings," Ric Burns' "Oliver Sacks: His Own Life" is a revelation. Thoughtful interviews with Sacks and others mixed with vivid vintage footage make this one of year's best docs.

    My, my, wouldn't Oliver, who didn't come out publicly until a few months before he died, have been touched to see himself spoken of so admiringly in one of the oldest LGBTQ newspapers in the country. Lovely review.... 🏳️‍🌈 🌹

    Evidence in the annals of "Self-Care": Oliver Sacks brightens his day and buys himself a gift, even graciously inscribing it to himself--June 1951 (age 17): "To Oliver, with sincerest good wishes from himself."
