    I thought it was ok overall as it wasn't that interesting to me, but I did respect the journey Anthony made to get where he was in life.

    A deep, illuminating look at the life of a man who we all felt close to, and a shocking sense of loss at his untimely demise.

    Utterly compelling portrait of Anthony Bordain.I just respect and admire him even more. Such a sensitive, but damaged and vulnerable, genius. Struggling with fame, the injustice of the modern world and his endless search for meaning. Such a tragedy - such a loss.

    I for one loved the shows he put out. I greatly enjoyed the content. The movie as well was great until the last half. I understand that a story had to be told, but the way they demeaned his greatness and all he had done was unwarranted. Enjoyable until it was soul crushing. You will be missed.

    It seems to have missed its own point, completely. God rest him, but he doesn't come across as someone you would like to have known.

    Didn't know much about him but this was a great doc. So much raw footage always was compelling. And sad but not pity. Almost angry at his decision. I liked that.

    Sad but essential watching for Bourdain fans, a fair, respectful portrayal of his unravelling.

    Wow, big surprise that an audience gets tricked by a documentary...again. I swear, if I had a penny for every fact a documentary left out, I'd be as rich as Bourdain was. I gotta give this thing half a bag for showing how much of a jerk the guy really was. Let's be honest, he left behind a daughter and treated ppl awfully by a lot of accounts in the film. They left out that he paid $380,000 to cover up that Asia Argento allegedly sexually assaulted a 17 year old dude. You think that may have affected his mental health? Then, they use AI to read a bunch of private journal entries, which was dubious and unethical. I thought "man I can't believe the guy was so self-important that he recorded all this personal stuff," well he didn't! I do think they got the point that he should be remembered for the culinary adventures and all that. Josh Homme in this movie was a downer, QOTSA sucks hey 2004 called and they want their half assed indie rock back!
