Ultimately, this rueful picture of Heath Ledger is a loving celebration of a passionate spirit and a tribute fittingly seen through the eyes of the artist himself. Read full review

What it does offer, however, is a touching celebration of his life — and it largely does so by using a collection of home videos Ledger recorded throughout his career. Read full review

I Am Heath Ledger is far too loving a portrait to be confused for art — don’t expect another “Amy” — but the film’s superficial approach is buoyed by an overwhelming degree of sincerity. Read full review

I Am Heath Ledger feels like a glancing take on the actor. It takes us through his professional life, and some of his personal one, but it never provides a full picture of him. Read full review

The doc is less interested in analyzing Ledger's acting technique than in impressing viewers with his overall creative drive. Read full review

I Am Heath Ledger is a catchy and seductive portrait of an extraordinary artist, but it leaves you wanting more, because you know it’s not close to being all of Heath Ledger. Read full review

I was looking forward to this documentary. Although I wanted more footage of behind the scenes with him, videos from sets etc. But as a fan of dark knight, this was important to watch.

It was a really interesting journey behind the doors to see him like that. That in the in even the Joker is human...
It was well edited and i got a very good inside look of the man and i'm really happy that the film is the way it is. it almost brought a tear into the eye but hey.
