    Suzi Feay

    Financial Times

  • There are ups and downs, particularly among the feature films, but we get to see the irrepressible, unpredictable, inventive Williams on top of his game often enough that the documentary flies by.

  • That Williams remains elusive by the movie's end only amplifies the feeling of how original and irreplaceable he was.

Audience Reviews for Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind

  • Dec 10, 2018
    "Robin would just be...whatever person he was with, he'd be...what they wanted him to be. He just...didn't operate like normal people. He was very vulnerable that's for sure. He held onto a lot of things and internalized a lot of things. He felt everything." I've never felt closer to Robin Williams.
