Film Review – Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost

Jerry Stiller passed away in 2020, preceded in death by his wife, Anne Meara, who expired in 2015. They were professionally known as Stiller and Meara, becoming a respected comedy team throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, achieving some degree of fame with their stage interplay, which was tied to their real-world marital relationship. To Ben Stiller, Anne and Jerry were simply mom and dad, and soon enough, he was tasked with emptying out their New York City apartment for a future sale. Most people would quietly go about their business, but Ben elected to take advantage of the situation, bringing in a camera crew to create the documentary “Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost,” which pays tribute to the performers and tries to understand their human side when away from the stage. Ben is joined by his sister, Amy, for an exploration of the past and the present, offering an in-depth and often uncomfortably intimate study of Jerry and Anne and their unusual life together.
