Movie about classic film fans - Man in the Chair

Has anyone seen Man in the Chair? It's a 2007 release starring Christopher Plummer and Michael Angarano about a young classic film buff and a retired film gaffer he meets in a movie theater. It turns out the older man is the only surviving crew member from Citizen Kane. It's won some awards, and it's available on Amazon Prime, which I don't have, unfortunately. If you have seen it, what did you think?

I have neither heard of or seen this one. I will put out my radar for it, though. Thanks for the information about it. You've whet my appetite, Rosie!

You're welcome, John! I found out it's available on DVD, so maybe I'll order it. If so, I'll let you know how I like it.
