‘Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold’

Fans of Joan Didion will know that few public figures are more guarded than the nonfiction author behind The Year of Magical Thinking. In Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, her impenetrable celebrity is bolstered by casual commentary from Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, panoramic views of New York City and Californian suburbia, and insight like the fact that Didion “retroactively made Harrison Ford famous” for doing construction on her house before he was Indiana Jones. Directed by her nephew, Griffin Dunne, this intimate portrait of the life and losses behind one of the foremost writers of our time is well-worth streaming.
