NYFF: Everything is Copy

Manuel here continuing our NYFF coverage with a documentary about the late great Nora Ephron, Everything is Copy. An HBO documentary, it played to quite the packed house last week with nary a dry eye in the house by its end.

Ambitious. Mean. Tough. Malevolent. Judgmental.

Quotes from Spielberg, Streep and more after the jump...
