There’s no denying Elmo from Sesame Street is one adorable little
critter, which makes the proposition of a documentary on the man with his arm
up his backside a rather charming one. Constance Marks provides a satisfying account
on Kevin Clash’s journey from aspiring puppeteer to major player on the world
famous kids’ show, but somehow avoids probing deeper into the relationship with
his estranged wife and daughter. One could argue that this is a conscious
decision to focus more on Clash’s career, but a film that showed how a beloved
muppet could tear a family apart would have made for more compelling viewing.
3/5
