Russell P Nov 9 Such a talented man could look back with a sense of sweet sadness and thankfulness. Very poignant. To reflect on the unintended pain caused to others and to have felt the emotions of some regret work its way into his beautiful music is worth ever minute of watching this story.

I am enough of a fan that I have been well aware of Lightfoot's weaknesses and troubles as well as of his successes, long before this film. That said, this documentary does a very nice job of exploring his life and his music. It's led by Lighthfoot's own blunt honesty about his demons and his relationships, nurtured by his gratitude at still being alive at an advanced age when his hard living, and a terrible abdominal aneurism in 2002, both could have, should have, killed him. The only mystery to me is why the film doesn't address the change in Gord's voice. That took place several decades ago and seems to me to have been much more than normal aging. I would love to know how and why he lost that beautiful baritone, and if he ever considered, like many professional singers quietly do, vocal cord surgery.
