Andrew K @RT40967692 12/18/2023 When people who make things we like or love (things that reach us) pass away it's very sad. Moreso when they're taken seemingly too soon. When Robin Williams passed away I felt genuine grief in a way I hadn't experienced before. I still miss him and I never knew him. I am just one of millions of fans. So many of whom he reached in some of the most genuine ways with his art as well as just the kindness and authenticity of who he was. It is heartbreaking to hear everything he and the people who love him went through. In part, personally, because I was the primary caregiver for my father who just passed away a few months ago. But I am glad to know the truth of what he actually endured. As well as to see the celebration of his life by some of the people who knew him best. A picture of him still hangs in my office. Right next to my desk. I put it up the day he died. I wish he were still here. I will never forget him.

A complete 180 across multiple points between the two documentaries that reverses the emotionally balanced impacts, turning this respectfully, saddeningly blunt, well-focused framework of an untold story that realistically, as needed, completed one's true profile to more humane than just a gifted comic via cherished memories. The insightful, eye-opening effect proves to be haunting, and capable to haunt a viewer lingeringly in one point or another while gladly essentially spread informally.

It features people who knew him well, including his widow, speaking about their memories of him. It also features healthcare professionals talking about lewy body dementia, which is what Robin had (without knowing at the time). It's an insightful documentary film which I would recommend, yes. See more 06/11/2022 This was such an eye opening intimate look into what Robin Williams was dealing with mentally. I think it helps fill in the blanks where some of us might have missed crucial information about his disease. Quality interviews and information from people close to Robin was the best part. See more 04/26/2021 Awesome! Robin's Wish covered every bit of Robin's end of life years... which have not been reflected in any of the earlier documentaries on Robin's life. Tylor Norwood is a brilliant cinematographer, director and Robin's Wish speaks to his brilliance in the details...the storyline, the doctors' views on the syndrome, the music which synced with the story said it all. See more Simon T @Bucksplit 02/19/2021 Very powerful documentary about Robin Williams' suicide in August 2014, the diagnosis post-mortem of Lewy's Body Dementia and how it robbed him of everything he lived for. Especially moving is his widow Susan's eloquence and the love he engendered in so many of his friends, neighbours and complete strangers. Lots of clips of him on and off-screen, and of real interest to anyone with even a passing interest in the brain and its fragility. See more Read all reviews
