There is a reason Being James Bond keeps coming up in conversation. Being James Bond approaches its subject with the rigour that makes documentary storytelling worth taking seriously. Daniel Craig candidly reflects on his 15 year adventure as James Bond. Including never-before-seen archival footage from Casino Royale to the upcoming 25th film No Time To Die, Craig shares his personal memories in conversation with 007 producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. Featuring Daniel Craig and Michael G. Wilson, it gets access that is hard to secure twice. It hit screens in 2021. What elevates Being James Bond above most documentary work is a refusal to settle for the easy version of the story. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Documentary fans who value serious storytelling will find Being James Bond essential viewing. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. The subject drives every choice here, not the other way around. The kind of production you finish and immediately want to read more about.
