What really makes As I Am a persuasive work is the sincerity with which it endorses its subject as a good and talented human, whom the world is a little worse off for having lost.

It's a solid documentary but shies away from the more tabloid-ready aspects of his life.

No matter where you go, there you are. That's the central theme of As I AM: The Life and Times of DJ AM, a documentary on Adam Goldstein, who battled addiction, obesity and depression...

It is this ability to connect with him, to feel like we get to know the real Adam Goldstein in this short 110 minutes, that makes this film so hard to watch and yet so powerful.

Well-rounded portrait of a talented celebrity DJ, whose potential was taken away by drug addiction.

Wish I could give this film more stars . . . I absolutely loved it! Kevin Kerslake is a genius and this film proves it. Thanks for such a beautiful portrayal of Adam Goldstein's too-short life.

So moving... So painful....for anyone in recovery feeling close to the edge, pay close attention. 11 years clean and one bad night....such a bright bright light snuffed out too too early....RIP

One of the best Doc's I have watched. Definitely has a big impact. Really tells the full story of his life, and the impact he made not only on dj's but music as a whole.
