A tribute to his mother Nora Ephron, who was nurtured in Hollywood as the daughter of screenwriters and went on to become an excellent reporter turned piercingly hilarious essayist turned novelist/screenwriter/playwright/director, Jacob Bernstein's immensely entertaining film is a tribute to her. In this film, Ephron comes to life through her words, the recollections of her sisters and coworkers, her ex-husband and many other friends, sequences from her films, and most importantly, her own inimitable presence on the screen.

As you can see, I don't believe it "The fact that she has been missing from our midst for three years is difficult to comprehend. In Everything Is Copy (Ephron's mother's credo), she paints a beautifully drawn but candid portrayal of her mother, as well as a vivid snapshot of a more vibrant, bitchier, and funnier era in New York culture that was earlier, livelier, and funnier.
