	Media	Author	Review
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Offers an intimate but incomplete view of the much-missed actor."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"In a haunting personal documentary, the star of 'The Dark Knight' and 'Brokeback Mountain' comes across more intimately than we've seen, but his demons remain behind a closed door."
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"An important addition to how the world views Ledger, and makes his work in so many favorite films even more compelling."
		Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"Uncommonly tender portrait avoids the hard questions (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media	"Overall, 'I Am Heath Ledger' feels like a collection of missed opportunities."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A touching but superficial documentary (...) [It] is far too loving a portrait to be confused for art"
