Andrew K When people who make things we like or love (things that reach us) pass away it's very sad. Moreso when they're taken seemingly too soon. When Robin Williams passed away I felt genuine grief in a way I hadn't experienced before. I still miss him and I never knew him. I am just one of millions of fans. So many of whom he reached in some of the most genuine ways with his art as well as just the kindness and authenticity of who he was. It is heartbreaking to hear everything he and the people who love him went through. In part, personally, because I was the primary caregiver for my father who just passed away a few months ago. But I am glad to know the truth of what he actually endured. As well as to see the celebration of his life by some of the people who knew him best. A picture of him still hangs in my office. Right next to my desk. I put it up the day he died. I wish he were still here. I will never forget him. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Kyle M While Robin Williams' previous documentary chronicles his life with expected emotional punch between laughter and sadness, this one titularly details his unspoken wish caught on and motivated by his widow from his declining days till his unfortunate turn of event. A complete 180 across multiple points between the two documentaries that reverses the emotionally balanced impacts, turning this respectfully, saddeningly blunt, well-focused framework of an untold story that realistically, as needed, completed one's true profile to more humane than just a gifted comic via cherished memories. The insightful, eye-opening effect proves to be haunting, and capable to haunt a viewer lingeringly in one point or another while gladly essentially spread informally. (A-) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/22 Full Review isla s This is understandably a sad and sobering watch but I felt it was well made - informative, respectful and it features numerous clips of Robin's comic routines and clips of him in films. It features people who knew him well, including his widow, speaking about their memories of him. It also features healthcare professionals talking about lewy body dementia, which is what Robin had (without knowing at the time). It's an insightful documentary film which I would recommend, yes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review witold r A penetrating, confidential image of the last days in the life of a very famous actor and comedian Robin Williams, who tragically ended his life - without fully knowing what caused the deteriorating state of his brain's functioning - in the face of a gradual loss of control over subsequent life functions that prevented him from efficiently fulfilling his professional duties and ordinary everyday. Plus, the popular comedian's image of a popular comedian as depressed celebrity after numerous episodes involving stimulants, including alleged financial problems plaguing him, caused by hasty media reactions. Separately, the extraordinary efforts of his wife Susan Schneider Williams in making the world aware that the cause of her husband's death was due to the dementia of Levy's bodies (LBD, discovered in Robin only after his death) - an incurable and fatally devastating disease, without a diagnosis causing increased fear, paranoid and confused and had a tremendous impact on Williams' mental and physical health, which ultimately led to the tragic descent of the actor admired by millions of followers around the world. Unfortunately, the film reveals symptoms of an excessive fascination with Robin's acting skills, with particular emphasis on his comedic talents, which makes him an apological product that is difficult for the observer to fully accept. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was such an eye opening intimate look into what Robin Williams was dealing with mentally. I think it helps fill in the blanks where some of us might have missed crucial information about his disease. Quality interviews and information from people close to Robin was the best part. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/22 Full Review Audience Member Awesome! Robin's Wish covered every bit of Robin's end of life years... which have not been reflected in any of the earlier documentaries on Robin's life. Tylor Norwood is a brilliant cinematographer, director and Robin's Wish speaks to his brilliance in the details...the storyline, the doctors' views on the syndrome, the music which synced with the story said it all.
