    This is a difficult watch

    In light of, or in spite of, recent events-this is hard to watch. I actually find this heartbreaking. This is an excellent film, a litle unnerving in that some of the narrative is in the past tense(purely due to the timing), but very good. 'Fan' or not, and I wasn't as such, we've all heard his music.

    The film was really informative and really well put together. You see how he worked and the love for the music. The struggles of the guy are almost palpable though throughout. I have experienced addiction, etc and I can get, in a small way, how difficult things must have become. I don't know how he did it, there really is only so much a person can take. I just imagine him hating the drinking, the lifestyle, but having to carry on. Night after night after night...All the way through, I felt stressed out and anxious myself and that's, what, an hour and a half

    There's definitely a story there and a sad one at that

    Real life drama

    Even if your not familiar with dance music or don't like "Ibiza"-sounds (I hate the sound), this docu is worth the watch. It's an as honest possible film about the drama of being the biggest superstar in a certain music scene, you have to do your thing... It's difficult writing a review for this docu without spoiling, but I promise you, there's a real life drama story behind it that unfolds. This ain't just a music docu, it's a drama docu about a human being influenced by his surroundings. I watched the movie just before the tragic news a few days ago, and those who wanna know why, well I think this docu gives a good hint what happened on that vacation in the resort.

    Real and cruel

    Chances are that if you're watching this then you're a fan of Avicii, so get ready because this becomes emotional if you are. This documentary shows exactly what's the world of celebrities and DJ'S. It doesn't focus on how Avicii rose to fame (though it does shows it) but in what happened once he became the megastar he was. The tight schedules of touring and the pressure for releasing hit after hit changes everyone and in the case of Tim this was reflected in his health, both physical and mental. The hardest part of this is that it was night after night non-stop touring, barely sleeping and eating and working in making music... this lasted for eight years. In the process he faced the consequences that were obviously coming and that made him quit touring.

    R.I.P Tim "Avicii" Bergling

    A giant has left us, we will never know exactly why, but this documentary comes real close to answering the question.

    R.I.P Tim, you will be missed but never forgotten.

    A Sad Sad Story

    Before watching this documentary, i had no idea who Avicii was.

    It was heartbreaking to watch this fragile soul rise to meteoric fame and not be able to survive it. He may have had emotional and mental issues, but that isn't what killed him. It was the leeches and hangers-on who saw him as a meal ticket and wrung every last dollar out of him before he just couldn't take it any more. I am sure none of them blame themselves and only feel sorry for the fact that they have lost their sources of income. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
