I thought this was a great documentary. I loved the last couple of scenes in particular, extremely touching moments with members of his family. It was amazing to see the effect DMX had on so many peoples' lives. He had tremendous healing power for a tremendous number of fans. His fatigue and frustrations were palpable at times, so then you can see why his old stomping grounds were where he seemed most comfortable and at ease. I enjoyed watching his bond with and love for his family and the powerful connection he had with his sons, and other struggling men. This film lets you be a fly on the wall for his last year of his life. It's nice to think he is resting in peace.

I loved everything about this movie, the storyline, the actors, the clothes, setting and the brownstones. I thought it was complex, not just racially, but in terms of various types of relationships. People are complicated, and relationships are complicated, and I thought the film captured these nuances well. And what an ending! And of course the black and white was a nice touch. I felt like I was right there with the characters, in the moment, and it was all so uncomfortable and unpleasant that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
