"8/10. Well done documentary. Excellent interviews, and chronological structure. Good distribution amongst all aspects of Martin's life except his death. The end seemed abrupt and falls over a cliff after dealing with Dean Jr.'s death. Little time was spent on his personal life after his 2nd wife. Likely due to respect for his daughter who suggested this documentary be made and who features predominantly throughout the film."
