‘Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost’ Review: Growing Up in the Public Eye

In a clip — apparently of 1970s vintage — shown in “Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost,” a young Ben Stiller is seen being interviewed alongside his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who rose to fame as a joint comedy act. If Ben (Benji then) were a producer, the interviewer asks, would he hire his mother and father? “No,” he replies. Gesturing toward his parents, he adds, with a hint of mischief in his voice, “It’d be hard to work with you.”

Ben more than makes amends for that gibe in this charming documentary, which is not merely an introduction to Stiller and Meara — as a routine and as a couple — but also a memoir of what it was like to grow up in the public eye. Their two children, Ben and his older sister, Amy, were in the spotlight from an early age, and that experience left them with plenty of footage to draw on. (Ben started to shoot his own movies in childhood; when Jerry appeared in “Airport 1975,” Ben remade it as “Airport ’76.”)

It turns out that Jerry, who died in 2020, five years after Anne, was a pack rat when it came to keeping audiotapes of his life. We’re told that Anne used to say that the recordings would just pile up when he died, and while “she wasn’t wrong,” Ben notes, the process of selling the Upper West Side apartment where he and Amy grew up gives them an opportunity to listen.

At least two ideas running through “Nothing Is Lost,” which is streaming on Apple TV, and which takes its title from a line in a play that Anne wrote, give it a complexity that usually eludes profile-of-an-artist documentaries. One is the tension between Jerry and Anne’s onstage chemistry and their private lives. They were married people who played romantic partners, and having their careers bound together that way sometimes proved less than ideal.

The post ‘Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost’ Review: Growing Up in the Public Eye appeared first on New York Times.
