It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Starts out with her comparing singing to going to war. Then there is the lip sinking. Let's make fun of the church and put strippers in nun outfits. Ho-hum. A few guys kissing guys. A few guys grinding each other. Political misstatements. And some boobies and the same old music on replay. SO BORING. OH, and you get to see her grandma parts hanging out over and over again. They took the best of this concert tour and spliced together a film. I have seen over 100 concerts and Kenny this was the worst really

I enjoyed most of the show. Sarah has great presence, tone, and delivery. I've been a fan of hers for some time. This was my favorite standup comedy of hers in recent years and it reminded me of her show, which i miss. Sarah makes a personal connection with the audience and laughs with you and at herself. Most of the material was original, engaging, embarrassing, insightful, sick, and funny. Unfortunately, its like the forth Netflix comedy original that seemed to overlap the same material and having comedians take the moral high ground is short-sighted, patronizing, and a sign of the 2010's era.

The first thing I happily noticed about 'Sarah Silverman: A Speck of Dust' was that she was engaging with the audience. She often plays aloof & dumb with her jokes, but this time she brought the audience in on the conversation.I also appreciated that most of the jokes weren't recycled from old interviews & her social media posts. I want to say there is "new material" here, but we basically know the story she tells. It involves the parts of her life that made the news, but she offers her side of the story and adds heart to it. I enjoy this better than past stand-ups where she makes going to the stage into a short film about how silly she is. For a quick observation she was more self-aware here than in past shows.She's witty in her delivery, self-congratulatory in the political puns, one-liners were meme worthy and I counted probably 3 jokes she's been pushing over the past 10 years.This was a very loving Sarah Silverman. When she speaks from her heart, you know it's genuine and people love her for that. She much more the experienced comedian here. The jokes were gold, the humor was authentic, and she even poked fun at the way she segued between each new joke; "Put a pin in that for a second" ... "You're killing it, Sarah" A real treat comes at the end credits scene that show her real life epiglottis medical emergency as it happened. I don't know who filmed it, but it reminded me of my own life events when my Father had his heart attack. Watching her make light of the situation and getting her loved ones to laugh along is exactly how my family handles scares.I know a lot of people might not know the danger of epiglottitis; It's a severe life-threatening condition that could have cut off her airway. But there she was cracking jokes about it. Bravo, kid.

I usually avoid Sarah Silverman. I appreciate her as comic most of the time, but I just don't agree with her opinions. This was Sarah at her best. I laughed out loud, cringed slightly at her mostly-toned-down crudeness, and she didn't upset me with her opinions once. But the part I enjoyed the most was the credits. Here, I think we saw the real Sarah Silverman and I found her to be a delightful, warm-hearted, intrinsically funny and wise lady.
