For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood’s most mercurial and/or misunderstood actors has been documenting his own life and craft through film and video. He has amassed thousands of hours of footage, from 16mm home movies made with his brothers, to time spent in iconic roles for blockbuster movies like Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. This raw, wildly original and unflinching documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means to be an artist and a complex man.

A very touching, if not a bit sobering look at life and how fleeting time can be for everyone. There may be some things that are a bit glossed over in terms of drama but it isn’t really suppose to be about that. I did come out on the other side with a lot of respect for Kilmer but it still shows a lot of limitations of his art versus his perception of his own talent. I don’t mean that as a knock we all do this in one form or another.

This doc was a surprising look at what can befall anyone at anytime. I knew of Val Kilmer health problems but was unaware of his situation in its entirety…. Very well made doc and very sentimental… I has a tear in my eye the entire time… a good watch

Very interesting documentary, especially since Val Kilmer recorded home movies for decades, giving us a lot of footage from when he was young, going to Juilliard, his movie roles and even a comic con. Ofcourse it's a one sided view but at the very least it shows us an interesting life with ups and downs. My favourite part would probably be Val Kilmer arguing with John Frankenheimer on the set of The Island of Dr. Moreau. Great choice to let his son be the voice over, I feel sorry for Val's condition and I'm happy he made this documentary.

The line between fiction and reality is seldom as blurry as when it comes to actor Val Kilmer who, as clichéd as it sounds, is a true chameleon. As consumptive gunslinger Doc Holliday in Tombstone, Kilmer looks for all the world like a man who’s running late for his own funeral. And on The Doors, More
