I know his music but I don't really follow Lewis Capaldi. Great documentary regarding his life, how he skyrocketed into the industry after pretty humble beginnings. Who he is as a person does not seem to have changed in spite of his massive success, although he clearly has struggled more with anxiety and nervous tics because of it.

I'm quite surprised that it took so long for him to get a formal diagnosis of Tourette's. Did the family really not know? The dad suggested he go for chiropractic treatment; Lewis said that will not help. It's heartbreaking that what he loves to do most is affecting his mental and physical health, because he puts so much pressure on himself to do well. He also feels obligated to be successful because now he is responsible for so many others; he now carries them too. Kind of unrealistic to think the success can be repeated as his first album was the culmination of a lifetime of creating. No doubt he will do great though.

He is an amazing talent and he has an amazing voice.

I wish him every success and I highly recommend this documentary.

I was not really expecting anything going into this film. I am not really a fan of Lewis capaldi, but know his music and knew very little about himself. I really enjoyed this film! It did not keep my attention the whole time but it was really cool to see the ins and outs of his life. He is such a unique celebrity, in the fact that he does not really give in to the glitz and glam of the Hollywood lifestyle. He is goofy and down to each, and really honest. The film starts off with his current life, and talk about his life and career during the pandemic and also struggles he faced. I was unaware of the hardships in his life, so it brought a whole new layer to him after watching the documentary. I liked the production a lot as well. It was a good mix of interview clips, concert clips, and different shot types as well. I liked being able to hear him sing his music acoustic during some scenes too. I loved when they put in clips that he took himself as well. There were some video clips that were taken off of his iPhone in a selfie mode which was fun because it made it feel personal. He was really open with the camera crew and let the viewers take and honest look into his life. I would definitely recommend for a weekend watch if you are at all interested in Less Capaldi.

Lewis is a nice guy who became famous and is struggling with the adulation that his talent has thrust upon him, he feels responsible for the fortunes of those around him who are dependent on his successes. What a refreshing break from the many narcissists who feel they deserve to be famous with zero talent to begin fret the world.

Lewis' music is not my typical genre but I've found myself listening because he is such and appealing and genuine character. He has his struggles but is very aware of them and their effect on him and hopefully that rational thinking will serve him well in his mental health journey.

He has amazing parents, their support and leadership be for their son is inspiring and it shows that coming from a loving my family can get you through tough times.

Great doco and the protagonist is open, honest and engaging, well worth a watch.

A beautiful, touching, emotional film about Lewis who made me feel like I'm not alone. I have anxiety (particularly health anxiety)and hypochondria too which can cripple me some days. Watching him try to work through it while keeping such a positive attitude inspired me. I'm going to get much needed assistance and keep watching and listening to Lewis to keep me going. He's so real and manages to make me laugh in-between the tears. His videos and music are amazing, this film shows how important mental health is and how strong Lewis is. A must watch!! Love you Lewis, see you in Adelaide in July!

Loved every minute of this mixed emotions while watching. He should be very proud of himself because I know I am. He deserves everything can't wait for the album to come out. Massive fan of his and his music. Love him! 4 songs released in his new album and I can't pick one that's my favourite. This has got to be his year he's done so well can't be more happier and pleased for him! I've been a fan of his for so long always got his music on repeat. Great documentary couldn't of asked for anything better. He has an amazing voice and my best singer by a mile love him can't stop listening to his songs not a day goes by where i don't listen to one. HE DESERVES EVERYTHING!!!

I loved every minute. We forget that artists are not super human. This a very personal glimpse of the pressures and anxieties surrounding a very talented artist creating a piece of art for the world and nearly consuming the him in the process. I commend Lewis Capaldi for allowing us to be a part of his life even when the pressures are too much to bear. We imagine all of the high points that a celebrity might have and this documentary reminds us there are low points that we are rarely exposed to. I am a big fan of his and I hope he knows there are people rooting so hard for him to be healthy and happy. I shed some tears and left a piece of my soul with Lewis.

This was a very interesting documentary. I had no idea that he suffered from so much anxiety and nervous tics. He also suffered from Imposter syndrome, which I knew nothing about either. I learned a lot about Lewis and how he is as a person. A warm and kind person who cares about the people around him, and they care about him as well. This was very heartwarming to see. His family and his team/manager paused his career for three years so they could focus on getting Lewis the help he needed, and this made me so glad. This was a big difference from how it can be. It was not the same with Avicii, who had a manager who only cared about money... Avicii would probably be alive today if only he had received the same support that Lewis received.

Lewis Capaldi has an amazing and unique voice, and I'm happy that he is feeling better and is back with new music! Keep it up Lewis, you are so NOT an imposter! I strongly recommend this documentary.

This documentary is absolutely phenomenal. Showing so many real and raw sides to his life . Lewis has a way of connecting with people he shares his gifts with . Not only through the music but he is one if not the most open and honest artist. He always makes sure to take time to talk and connect with his fans, from his music , this documentary and Even on stage to a crowd . He has mastered the art of writing perfect pieces of work that you can relate to and feel his emotions💙. This documentary will make you sad in parts but it will also let you see Lewis for who he is behind the fame . The song how I'm feeling now is also such a great song to do with mental health . We love you Lewis.

This thoughtfully created and so generously shared life story depicts a very real struggle with with crippling anxiety. The documentary, while shared by a famous person, clearly depicts the anxiety and resultant life changes that are prévenant within the general population as well. The generosity and thoughtfulness behind sharing such a very real struggle should not go unnoticed. Please support this man in all of his life endeavors. Take heart from his eloquently shared life experience. If you too suffer with anxiety, know there is no shame in obtaining help. Thank you Lewis. Glorious film. Watch it now.

I watched this film before really knowing much about Lewis Capaldi. I knew all of his music, but not too much about his personal life. Honestly, I was blown away to see the raw talent that comes from Lewis. I absolutely adored seeing how supportive his family is to him, and how despite all the pressures of the music industry and the shows, Lewis is so passionate about getting back up on that stage and entertaining his fans with beautiful music. It's no doubt that Lewis is talented, but my gosh I am even more excited to hear the rest of his album now. This documentary is the reason I ended up buying tickets to one of his shows recently. Lewis, you are a true gem and I am so grateful to have found your music.

As a mom who has a son your age with Tourette's, I find you extremely courageous! I am thankful he doesn't have the stress level you have! Stress definitely makes his worse. He doesn't take any meds for it. He just seems to manage his lifestyle and work around it. I am so glad you decided to make a documentary about it though! I think it really helps to educate people and make them more aware of it. I think the more people know the less reaction they will have when presented. Funny, I don't even really notice his tics u til they get more pronounced. Then I know he's dealing with something. When I watched your documentary I felt the same emotional pull towards you too. Sometimes you just need a hug and a break. A break from the stress. I hope you find your happy medium! You're a very talented individual and I wish you all life has to offer! Just remember to give yourself a break when you need it and don't feel guilty!

Always loved his music but I feel since watching the Netflix documentary I can connect deeper with his songs. I understand them better and appreciate the words. It was amazing to watch, even through the many tears I shared at some of the scenes. Hes one of the most incredibly humble and famous people in the world. We all know in this day in age that many celebrities go through bad mental health at some point in their careers, but not many share it with the world. Lewis, we love you and appreciate you, but your main priority should always be your health. Thank you for being you and for showing the world your most vulnerable side in return helping others. I wish I could give you a massive hug!x.

I've absolutely loved this documentary! If you want to cry and laugh at the same time you've to watch it!

Lewis Capaldi is such a beautiful soul... I've appreciated how funny and real he is and that he has embraced and showed to the world his vulnerabilities.

Without talking about his enormous talent in singing and writing songs!

It's a real backstage of his professional and private life.

I also wanna thank him to give me and my boyfriend a little bit of courage to be more confident (our dream is to become singers too).

I've just bought your tickets to see you on tour.

Can't wait to see you in Milan XX @alessiaboasso.

Been a massive fan since 2018. Covid robbed us of him for a while. I've seen him live three times and will be seeing him again in August absolutely adore him. The vulnerability of this film is heart wrenching. People think fame and fortune is a sure way to happiness. It hurt my heart to watch the internal battles Lewis faces as his biggest critic is himself. He has a beautiful family and friend network I hope his tourettes doesn't stand in the way of his dreams as his ticks looks painful and draining. He is the epitome of staying true to himself, he seems really genuine. He is hilarious and insanely talented. He needs to believe more in himself because he deserves everything he achieves. I hope another documentary will follow in time. I also hope I get my selfie with this guy one day.

THIS. FILM. I've only gone & watched it five times. The bravery and humility it takes to not only film something of this nature but to then share it with the world is just immense. This film is such a unique look into the pressures of "stardom" and how those pressures can manifest in the "star". It was heartbreaking, heartwarming, and heart filled. This film brings so much awareness to the mental health conversation that needs to keep happening. Lewis is so incredibly needed in the world, I feel almost lucky to have been around all these years watching his career unfold. Also, why is his dad kinda hot 👀

Lewis Capaldi has quickly become one of my favorite artists of all time. This small glimpse into his life confirmed what he has been showing us all along-his authenticity and his desire to create beautiful music. I respect him more than ever after watching this documentary. I also got a chance to see him perform live in Boston and safe to say-he is a treasure. It was so wonderful get a glimpse inside his journey. We sometimes fail to forget there are humans behind all of it. This documentary reminds us of that. I am excited for what the future will bring for him and I am so glad he is letting us follow his journey closely.

Lewis is very honest and open about his struggles with his growing global fame. It takes you behind scenes of the music writing process and you get a glimpse of his family life. I enjoyed getting to know him a bit better. And seeing him be his authentic self vs what we see on stage or on social media is refreshing and makes him that much more likable and relatable. We all come from somewhere and are shaped by our life experiences and it seems he found a good outlet to express the challenges he has faced. The cinematography and editing is also fantastic. The whole crew did an excellent job pulling this together. Will watch again.
