Ben Stiller’s ‘Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost’ Debuts on Apple TV+

The documentary doubles as a family reckoning that confronts how work and fame shaped Stiller’s parenting.

Overview

  • The film is now streaming on Apple TV+, following a festival premiere and a limited theatrical run.
  • Stiller traces the careers and marriage of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara using home movies, tapes, photos, clippings and love letters curated with sister Amy.
  • On-camera interviews with Amy Stiller, Christine Taylor, and children Ella and Quin detail how his work kept him away, a critique he has acknowledged in recent interviews.
  • Stiller began filming his parents’ Upper West Side apartment in 2020 after Jerry’s death, turning a grief project into a multigenerational memoir.
  • In a media tour spanning The View, Today and late-night, Stiller discussed repeating patterns across generations and his admission that he “f–ked up” as a father.
