	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Conventional yet beautifully made (...) Williams’ heart attack is chronicled in disquieting detail, but does the movie deal with the complex circumstances that led to his suicide? Not really."	NEU
United Kingdom	Charlie Phillips The Guardian	"[It] is filled with genuine affection and remarkable archive footage, but there’s a frustrating hesitance to go deeper (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Though it's a little reductive in assessing Williams' highs and lows on the big screen (they're pretty much all highs, Zenovich seems to think), the film gives us enjoyable time-outs to look behind the scenes"	POS
United Kingdom	Anthony Kaufman Screendaily	"[It] offers plenty of laughs and highlights from the star’s comic career. But it also leaves the viewer wanting more than this traditional bio-doc can afford."	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"[An] impressive array of interviews (...) A film that’s compassionate without being fawning, and poignant without being sentimental."	POS
United States	April Wolfe Village Voice	"[It] is moving but far from illuminating (...) Overall, the film plays more like a survey of Williams’s life"	NEU
