Heath Ledger is a captivating presence on screen but this documentary is not so captivating for while it recalls the actor's charisma-in-spades and offers some hitherto lesser known details regarding his youth and his early and all-too-easy transition into Hollywood superstardom and his celebrity lifestyle, the movie is a eulogy, not a documentary, made for fans by Ledger's family and friends, with issues like drug addiction, the problems of fast and easy celebrity, young fatherhood, and possible mental illness, all mentioned but widely skirted around.
★★☆☆☆
