Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Prepare to have your emotions tickled and heart broken by this fascinating take on death and dying. Rated: 3/4 Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Funny, sad and uncomfortable in shifting proportions, the film is at once an urgent public service announcement and a documentary memento mori -- not always pleasant to watch, but far more pleasant to watch than the subject matter would suggest. Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star The film, wry as it is, doubles as a cheeky public service announcement aimed at those who neglect to pay attention to love and their biological needs. Rated: 3/4 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast A funny movie, but a tough watch. Especially the final moments for anyone that has watched someone fade away with cancer. But we can all hope to go out with as much grace as Andre does. Rated: 3/4 Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net It gets the slight edge because André really has had a crazy life that is entertaining to watch. Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez The Movie Buff Even though André may not be funny or charismatic for you as a subject, you can’t deny that the documentary has an important message. Rated: C+ Feb 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
