I Am Heath Ledger transcends box-checking filmography and gushing tributes, looking past Ledger The Movie Star to focus on the young man who dedicated his life to pursuing -- and helping others pursue -- a wide variety of creative endeavors.
It paints an affecting, impressionistic portrait of the actor's singular vision and devotion to his work.
The video Ledger captured of himself, which is liberally woven into the film, makes this an intense portrait that actually merits its title -- up close and personal in ways that such biographies seldom are.
A poignant look at an actor whose best work seemed yet to come.
A bit of a letdown.
A touching (if slightly superficial) tribute to a great actor gone too soon.
The emotional but pointless documentary "I Am Heath Ledger" is really more of a tribute than a documentary, shedding literally no new light on the death of the extremely talented young actor.
Watching this tender narrative, it's hard not to imagine all the wondrous things he could have made.
Docu celebrates actor's brief life; drugs, cursing.
I Am Heath Ledger is shrouded with the tone of a eulogy, but serves as a tribute to Ledger's short life and accomplishments compiled by his loved ones, for his fans.
They all paint a portrait of a young man who aimed to live every moment to the fullest, but who didn't always have confidence in his own abilities.
Directors Adrian Buitenhuis and Derik Murray cover all the usual bases... But the film is never more interesting, or more poignant, than when Ledger turns the camera on himself.
Well, if you grew up in the noughties (like myself) you knew his name and you knew the various roles he played in various films. Heath Ledger is nothing short of being a modern Australian legend who lived a wonderfully fulfilling and colourful life, but sadly left this world all too soon. This documentary sheds light on the late actor's life produced and interviewed by some of his most closest friends and family members. It even include various pieces of stock footage that Ledger himself filmed throughout his life, something I didn't know about his underlining passion for his own brand of video/film making efforts. While it's been 9 years since the late actor's death this film goes to show his legacy still endures as his undying passion for being alive. Overall this documentary is the definitive portrait of Ledger which both old and new generations can learn from, it was an insightful feel good facts trip into the life and times of Ledger as well as an endearing one to really get some intimacy on parts of his life the world already didn't know.
