Featured reviews
So firstly, a great documentary. It started off great and he really did come across as a nice guy, and we all know at least one or two of his songs. However,
we know most of that already and this would have been a great opportunity to explain to the audience more of his struggles, how bad were the drugs and drinking what friends were not the right type around him, why did the manager leave and not speak to Tim was it over money and lack of loyalty.
Lastly, although personal but if your doing a documentary we just needed a better understanding of such an early death how bad it really was or was this not explained due to the guilt of the people around him who never done enough.

As a Fan of Electronic music especially Progressive House this Doc is a real treat. From an amateur kid from Sweden making house music on FL studio to an international star EDM producer/DJ making the world go Dance. It shows the good times and the bad times...The evolution of his music is remarkable from House to including country influence to his signature tunes. His studio sessions as a producer is so fascinating to watch. Fame and the EDM Life unfortunately took its toll on Tim. The happiness we see in the beginning became a curse in the end. From a Fan's perspective I see this Film as a celebration of his Life and his music.
I cannot possibly write an unbiased review for this. I'm the kind of person who convinced my family to visit Stockholm just to go to the Avicii Experience, who has read Tim's official biography, who owns True, Stories, and Tim on vinyl, along with plenty of merch from the official website. I listen to his music almost every day-he remains one of my most-listened-to artists every year, even after his passing.
As I write this on New Year's Eve, I'm still emotional after crying my eyes out watching Avicii: I'm Tim on its release date. The ending completely broke my heart. This documentary deserves to be seen alongside Netflix's other release today, My Last Show, which features some of his most successful and well-known songs.
We may never truly understand what was going through his mind, but he left us with a powerful message in his final songs and lyrics. Tracks like "SOS," "Hold the Line," and "Ain't a Thing" are deeply emotional and hauntingly beautiful. As he once said after stepping away from touring: "I will never let go of music. I will continue to speak to my fans through it."
Tim, you are deeply missed. I'm so grateful to everyone who made this documentary possible-it's a heartfelt gift to all his fans. The melodies he created are not just music; they're memories of my teenage years and an endless source of inspiration.
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did.

I had the privilege to listen Tim on Ultra Europe in Croatia two times. He always put a great show, it was remarkable. I also have to say that I know literally every song he made, I used to love house music and EDM, and I still do, but I was rather a fan of Hardwell or maybe Laidback Luke, but never Avicii's and I must admit that I don't know why. Maybe there were songs that were to repetetive so I was annoyed, but I remember when I heard the news about his death, I felt so bad for him and everyone closest to him.
Also, after seeing this documentary, it definitely showed me who Tim really was and who he really wasn't. After seeing couple of minutes of this film, you could clearly see that he wasn't made to be on that stage in that kind of a way, If you know what I mean. He was not ready, like he said - he was too stiff so he had to drink to cope with all this energy and madness. He was a big talent and such a great artist, he will never fade away. Some of his songs reminds me of my past, my growing with certain people, such a nostalgia in this documentary.
The ending crushed me, I even let my tears to come out because I can't understand why he didn't find purpose in his life afterall, to even took his own life. Such a tragedy. You could clearly see how fragile he was, how he wasn't prepared for all the fame that came along, and sadly no one could help him. Avicii took Tim away from this life...He was so down to earth and that is very rare to see nowdays...
I felt sadness seeing this documentary and I wanted to know him better through this film, and all I can say is that he was clearly such a beautiful soul.
I hope he found peace, and only he knows what really happened and what was going through his head. Such a shame that he couldn't share that with anyone.
Tim, you are missed.

This movie is really moving to tears, especially the ending. I can tell you. What it tells you about what was important for those who cared about Tim as much as the closest person. With his music, he helped many people see life in colors again, overcome difficult situations and obstacles and just smile. After watching this movie, I began to see the full depth of his inner state, which he translated into his music, and in fact, this fact is sad, because we hadn't seen it before and couldn't help Tim at the time. I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the creation of this film in one way or another, thank you for honoring the memory of this great man in this way and helping many of his fans get to know him better!
