Amazingly poignant performance by Peter Sellers.
New York Times
May 20, 2003
Hal Ashby directs Being There at an unruffled, elegant pace, the better to let Mr. Sellers's double-edged mannerisms make their full impression upon the audience.

A Gumpish plot? Perhaps, but Being There is much more subtle and enigmatic than that.

Even in a chilly movie like this, deaths have resonance (whether they're on camera, or off).
