Val

First, I am a Val Kilmer fan but had not expected to be as surprised and gratified as I am for this movie. Every actor gives a part of themselves to us as a gift, but the honest reflection and bravery to show the weaknesses which many people hide, makes this an amazing movie.

I am shocked at some of the comments on other reviews; saddened and disheartened that people can watch (even if they did) someone take off their mask and be real, then respond with vileness and cruelty. This was the first time I have ever had the privilege of seeing someone deal with life after fame and call themselves out on the fear and self doubt which can go with living in the light of yesterday. Showing the real struggles, exhaustion, and misunderstanding of a life that could have been stolen by cancer, instead rekindled into faith. Thank you Val for showing me a piece of humanity I will cherish. It is brave and made me a better person for the glimpse.

This is clearly an emotional project for Val, as he looks back on his life and his career. It provides such an unique and intimate insight into his life.

Went on a whim to see this movie expecting to learn a little about val kilmer... Was not expecting to feel so moved, heartbroken, inspired, & really just feel as emotional as i felt leaving the theater. A movie about acting , the creative process , overcoming the obstacles in front of us & continually moving forward despite of them. This movie really spoke to me ! Also loved that it was narrated by his son.

I've been missing Val Kilmer & didn't know why he'd been absent. Now, I'm heartbroken for his struggle, & I appreciate him so very much. Bless him & all he has brought to us as a stunning dedicated actor.

Thank you to the Kilmer Family and ofcourse Val for showing your side of earth and life. Your story is true, raw, deep, sad and funny. Laughter and creativity celebrated, truth spoken. Life is a journey that can be observed and appreciated or forgotten so thank you. We are all imperfect but with love and god it can beautiful. Peace and love and the right balance for you and your family.
