"So many good reviews on here already, so I won’t bother to say much except that I learned many interesting things about Bourdain while watching this documentary (I really enjoyed watching his PARTS UNKNOWN series back in the day & was sad to hear of his passing in 2018) — and, being a music lover, I enjoyed looking up & looking over “Anthony Bourdain’s Favorite Songs” playlist on Spotify (it’s full of songs he loved which are also featured in the film). His story’s sad. He’s definitely missed😔 "
"It was actually the first time for me watching it as I didn't know this documentary was actually a thing.
They did a great job making it feel as if you're watching Parts Unknown when you're really not.
Sad finding out the things that were going on while he was still alive that they put into the documentary.
Just watching his TV shows, you wouldn't think that he's dealing with manic episodes.
It looks like in the end, they won. I wish that he had done something about them, as he might have still been around to this day if he had.
Even though he said that he didn't want to be on TV, he literally knew how to make the world feel loved by speaking about everyone's backgrounds with food and so on.
He's truly missed. "

"I was desperate to see this, but dreading it at the same time because I knew it would rip my heart open. Bourdain was and is still my hero. Ugly crying. "

"I read his books, watched his shows and was a fan of Bourdain’s for a long time. His death hit me pretty hard because of its suddenness and pointlessnesses. This documentary shows what he was going through and the toll that the show (and his relationships) took on him. We want our heroes to live forever, we forget they are only human. RIP, Tony."
"An eye-opening masterpiece about the affects just one person can have on so many."

"Emotionally exhausting. I laughed, moped, got mad, cried and then laughed again during this movie. A touching tribute to a great man. "
