If you are unfamiliar with (and do not love) Olympia Dukakis and her work, we presume your spacecraft has just landed. Her indelible performances in such films as “Moonstruck” and “Steel Magnolias” have become landmarks on the cultural map. Not every star, as we know, is a work of art off-stage or off-screen as well. Many don’t wish to be known outside their craft. Some are shy. Welcome to OLYMPIA. This wonderful bear-hug of a documentary is an all-access pass to one of the most disarmingly honest and genuine performers alive. Open and generous, Olympia Dukakis shares her life and opinions, raw and unfiltered. From her early days unable to get roles because she was too “ethnic,” to her founding of the beloved Whole Theater Company, this is the journey of an artist whose amazing marriage and career are acts of fearless exploration and passion. Time in her company is a true joy. If you are not already a fan, you will be after this. (In English and Greek with subtitles) —C.R.
