And Everything Is Going Fine is a 2010 documentary film directed by Steven Soderbergh about the life of monologist Spalding Gray. It premiered on January 23, 2010 at the Slamdance Film Festival[1] and was screened at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival and the 2010 Maryland Film Festival.[2][3] Soderbergh had earlier directed Gray's filmed monologue, Gray's Anatomy.

Soderbergh decided against recording narration and new interviews. The film instead consists entirely of archival footage, principally numerous excerpts from monologues by and interviews with Gray, spanning some 20 years, as well as home movies of Gray as an infant.[4] Music for the film was composed by Gray's son Forrest.[5]

I began to define [the film] by what I didn't want it to be. It certainly didn't make sense to me to interview people on camera and have them talking about someone who was arguably one of the world's best talkers.
