The documentary blends interviews with his friends, family, and lover, which creates this mosaic of memories that’s both intimate and heart-wrenching. You get a real sense of who he was, even with the underlying sadness of his story. The pacing is reflective, not rushed, which feels right given the subject matter. The home movies really add a personal touch, drawing you into his world. It’s raw, it’s real, and it doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects.
