The man. The myth. The legend. To the entertainment industry, Lorne Michaels is all of the above and then some. The new documentary Lorne offers unprecedented access to the enigmatic mastermind behind Saturday Night Live. Michaels has remained at the helm for five decades, shaping the careers and comedic sensibilities (“More cowbell!”) of generations. Featuring interviews with such S.N.L. alumni as Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon, the film pulls back the curtain on Michaels’s exacting process and quiet influence as well as the high-stakes machine behind late-night’s most enduring institution. —Carolina de Armas
