Never Be Done: The Richard Glen Lett Story

This documentary exceeded my expectations! Most people have no idea what it's like to live with an addiction and this film gives us a raw, honest glimpse into Richard Glen Lett's journey. This is an important film because there are so many people battling addiction and/or mental health issues; those who've never lived through it easily judge or even worse, don't give them a second thought. Roy Tigue did an amazing job showing us Richard's journey and did not let him be forgotten.

Director Roy Tighe tenaciously follows the life and struggles of comedian Richard Lett and his bonzai trajectory towards his near demise Very well done and I was very moved.

Never Be Done is a roller-coaster ride of emotions that I cannot find all the words to explain. From heartbreaking moments to heartfelt, the raw journey is captured with every moment within the film which strikes the heart. A definite must watch.

The director did a wonderful job introducing the main character. I very much felt as though I knew Richard Let. I, like Richard, can very much identify with having a bit of success, followed by struggling with the demon's brought forth by alcoholism. The trials and tribulations that alcohol can prompt are mind-boggling: Homelessness, chaos, and recklessness are three words that come to mind.

In my opinion, if you know of anyone or are a person who has dealt with these same circumstances, this documentary is a must-see.

In a time when "cancel culture" is at its peak, this film serves as a welcome reminder that we still have room for redemption and forgiveness in our society. I didn't know who Richard Lett was before this film, but don't let that stop you from checking out this prolific documentary.

You learn that Richard is a Canadian comedian who built a career on both his sharp wit and infamous irreverence. We are introduced to him at a time when both his professional and personal life are spiraling out of his control. The documentary pulls no punches and never hides from the problematic nature of its main subject. Instead it puts all his flaws on display and lets you decide on how to feel about this complicated man.

The filmmakers do an exceptional job of navigating the mix of archival footage and the in-person raw follow-along they did with Richard. This sets up such a wonderful counterweight to the footage they present at the end. We even watch as the director, Roy Tighe, is sucked into the story himself and must navigate some tense moments while continuing to remain impartial. This only serves to elevate the film as we see him become increasingly invested in Richard's story.

I don't want to say much more for fear of spoiling the film for you, but (just as the title implies) the journey doesn't end there. We get to see what happens when you never give up on hope and work towards changing yourself for the better. Kudos to all those involved.
