You don't find subjects much more disarming than Rita Moreno, whose seven-decade career on stage and screen is described in Mariem Pérez Riera's celebratory documentary as both the essence of the American Dream and the tenacious attainment of it despite dispiriting obstacles. "You must never really believe anything about your fame and all that kind of bullshit," says Moreno with characteristic unfiltered charm. "Yeah, it goes up and down.

Right now, it's up." Built around an in-depth interview conducted soon after the star's 87th birthday in her home in the hills of Berkeley, California, this archive-rich bio is a candid sit-down with a national treasure.
