This was a well put together documentary about the troubled artist XXXTENTACION. It covers his ups and downs and will give a lot of people much needed closure. I was a huge X fan who would defend him for a while and I know there are still those who do. This documentary will provide a level of understanding so as not to make judgement calls, but to just know that he was a human being with a multitude of issues and problems. We all need help, and thus made me wish he had lived to get that much needed help and be there for his son. He was still a kid and taken way too soon. He should have been able to grow and atone for his mistakes like everybody (to a certain degree). I appreciate the fact that this doc doesn't attempt to sugar coat and lays out all of the cold hard facts. I also appreciate the emphasis on mental health. We all need it, and it is especially neglected in the Black community. I will try my best to help people in need for the rest of my life if I can because I know there have been times where I have needed it and haven't received it. Such is the case with Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy. He was a troubled youth with the weight of the world on his frail shoulders and nowhere to turn. Let's make sure nobody has to go through that of at all possible!

It found a way to highlight the moments in his career without idolising him as a person. It was able to show him as 'the bad guy' but also showed his redeeming qualities.

This was was an emotional roller coaster I've been following X's career since 2015 when I was 15 and I know it's clique to say but his music really help me with my feelings of Anxiety depression and anger, Both sides of his music distorted and anger filled and the slow more emotional filled songs really spoke to me at the time and and still today, And even though I was only listening to him for 3 years before his death his music had a big impact on my life and taught me how to express myself and emotions and I'll always love his music for that, Anyway this documentary was really great hearing about his upbringing and Re watching his come up rising from the underground to become one of the biggest rapper in the industry was really great I liked that it didn't shy away from the dark parts of his life with Geneva and showed how he bettered himself before his death, I do think there should of been more time spent with Ski and John and Denzel should of been in there and they left out other parts of his life such as the Jocelyn incident showing how X was definitely tortured soul moulded by his environment and he was a deeply flawed individual who seemed like more of myth and legend after his death who did a lot of bad but also accomplished a lot of good by helping millions of lost people and saving countless lives, By the end of the documentary I was in tears X was the first Famous person who died that truly effected me I remember waking up and seeing the news and going into a depression and it Messed for a while he was the only artist who spoke to me, It's hard to come to terms with this being one of the last forms of media we'll get of X but all I can say is we should all be happy we were able to experience his career and legacy with his short life while he was here if you're a fan of X this documentary was a must watch Long Live Jahseh <3.

At first I expected this documentary to dodge all of his controversies and overlook the stuff that absolutely should not be overlooked but I'm happy to say that I was wrong. This documentary addresses everything and it's brutally honest about everything. This documentary will show you the true colors of Jahseh Onfroy... The good and the bad. It truly shows how even the most flawed people can change into something good if people give them the opportunity. The documentary finally humanizes the late rapper and it's up to audience if they choose to forgive him or not.

I've been a fan of X since late 2016 and the evolution this kid has had is stunning. The documentary did a really good job of portraying the energy back then. I just wish there were some more key figures in the doc, like people who were with him in the beginning. Sad to see DJ Scheme and Denzel Curry were not in the documentary for interviews despite being shown in the actual documentary. Hope this doc gives people the same closure i found in watching it. LLJ bro is missed everyday and his fam and fans will keep his music alive.

In light of the garbage "films" that come out, this is a good way to spend 90 minutes of your life.

Prior to watching this documentary I have not had heard of XXXTentacion and I came with an open mind. This movie show a glimpse of what is wrong with the world today.

I'm not here to pass a judgement on the boy. Watch it and make your own mind up.

The x documentary basically showed a human soul trying to understand life and had done wrong yes, but to understand that you can change your life style, if you want to strive and become a better person it's possible, and a long process, never lose hope .

I heard this movie was going to be released today, so as soon as I woke up I started watching it and learned a lot in doing so. I definitely recommend watching this movie.

I am a true believer that he did not assault her but I'm very pleased that they left it open to the viewer to decide without grooming one way or another . Jahseh Onfroy changed so many lives including myself and this documentary was so special . It lived up to every expectation I was hoping for and more . Would rate this documentary higher if it was possible !

This documentary shows the human side of a person who was a monster for a long time but who became someone amazing, rest in peace X we will always miss you. Despite all the mistakes you were always something supernatural, someone special, an idol. Thank you for saving my life my king. As you say in "let's pretend we're numb" I ALWAYS LOVE U!

This doc went all out to show a full story that I feel no one knew until now. It helped me rekindle my love for X, his story, his music. It helped me look myself in the mirror and not ignore the ugly traits but to focus on them and work on myself for the people I love.

What a great documentary of such a young artist who didn't live out all his dreams.

A great artist who was taken away fro mud too soon. May he rest in piece. Anyone will enjoy this documentary of a legend.

He suffered from mental illness and got involved in the streets because his pops was locked up and his mom was young and didn't know how to love and raise him, he was trying to right his wrongs and live a normal life, Bro was evolving and becoming a better man and artist. RIP X.

Explored all sides of Jahseh, the good, the bad, the ugly. I hope it allows people to see who he really was as a person, including the mistakes he made. I also think it's a wake up call, to show how the media will label someone/something as one thing, rather than giving people the whole perspective. :)

A brilliant dive into the beauty and darkness of a revolutionary legacy in an unbelievably wild, yet sympathetic view on one man's journey to identity and redemption. Jahseh gave every bit of himself to the world without thinking twice about the impact that he would be leaving behind for generations to come.

His vision was beautifully captured through intimate direction and depth filled focus into a modern icon.

XXXTENTACION played a big part in my personal life growing up, any sort of trauma or sadness I would listen to his music, he always had that affect on people that they felt comfort in his music just as he intended. People often get the wrong impression but his real fans really feel the things he felt, this documentary perfectly portrays his life and gives an unbiased view of his upbringing his controversy and MOST IMPORTANTLY his turn around, so moving and an emotional rollercoaster, will truly show people he was a good man at heart. Couldn't have been done better.

I feel like this was a very impactful film in all honesty from the mental health stand point to just everything. Very strong and emotional film overall. I feel like i learned a tremendous amount about XXXTENTACION and Jahseh Onfroy as seperate personas.

I love the fact that they chose to put EVERYTHING including the bad parts in it and how he was trying to change his life. I do not agree with the stuff he did and i think it was very wrong but he was still a very good artist and helped me get through bad times. LLJ.

I appreciate this documentary because it gives me a better look at the man that has gotten me through many hard times and helps me relate to him more. This documentary helps me realize that everybody has their personal hardships and life is all about getting through these times and bettering yourself from your experiences.
