Billy Joel: And So It Goes (2025)

Billy Joel: And So It Goes explores the life and work of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and six-time Grammy winner Billy Joel, whose music has not only endured but soared across generations.

Nominated for Best Music Documentary at the 2025 Critics Choice Documentary Awards, And So It Goes is crafted around in-depth interviews with the legendary singer-songwriter himself, tracking the key moments that forged his character and the origin stories behind hits like “Just the Way You Are,” and “Uptown Girl”.

Directed and produced by Emmy winners Susan Lacy (Jane Fonda in Five Acts, Spielberg) and Jessica Levin (who produced The Janes and Jane Fonda in Five Acts), the two-part HBO documentary features interviews with the people closest to Joel, from his family and ex-wives (including Christie Brinkley), to friends, collaborators and former band members, as well as the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Sting and Pink.
