The bubble suffered a few COVID-19 exposures.[3] Filmmakers Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert happen to be Chappelle's neighbour and were asked to direct the film.[4]
Release
The film was premiered at Tribeca Film Festival on June 19, 2021 at Radio City Music Hall.[4]
Following controversy over jokes made in Chappelle's October 2021 Netflix special The Closer, distributors were not interested in the film and film festivals "uninvited" the film from being screened.[5] Chappelle decided to take the film on tour to be shown in 10 arenas in cities across the United States and Canada.[6][7]
Reception
Chappelle asked critics not to review the film.[8]
In a positive review, Peter Debruge of Variety called the film "an impressive account of how the comedian found a way to host live stand-up shows during the jittery first summer of the COVID-19 pandemic, directed by Oscar-winning American Factory duo Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar".[8]
