Watch Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fresh and Exciting

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A Hallmark card effort, truly awful - how such a unique individual could be eulogised in a completely sackless manner is staggering. If you like your movies in familiar paint by numbers chronology, lacking any real depth, analysis or zeal, then this is for you. The man is deserving of far better - and hopefully that time will come. Sure, you get the anecdotes a plenty - but no where in the frames and composition of those two hours does it come close to any true revelation or reflection of his essence, his use of language, speed of thought and the sadness that ran throughout his days. No where is he echoed in those tailored segments, no where is he seen.

But I already gave it a 10 stars because I miss my favorite actor in the whole world and I'll love this for sure. I wanted to meet him in real life...the daddy of all smiles. I'll edit my comment as soon as I see the documentary, thank you so much for making it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I watch this documentary with a heavy heart. You never get to see the struggles that some actors have had to go until they retire or die. Watching this shortly after he would have celebrated his 67th birthday, it is difficult to put all that content and that much energy in an HBO special in just under 2 hours, but they manage to do so. When you watch this, it will leave you nothing short of wanting to binge watch everything Robin Williams has touched. Growing up to most of his movies, in the peak of his time, brings me back to my childhood. I can't remember the amount of times I've seen Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, Good Will Hunting, and probably my favourite, Patch Adams, which I feel is borderline autobiographical, minus the medical aspect. I was really happy being able to see my childhood friend again and I know you will be too. I strongly recommend you watch this if you ever loved Robin Williams. You won't be disappointed.

Recently, I've noticed a particular pattern that HBO Documentaries tends to use for their productions: They aren't afraid to tackle an already-covered subject (like Andre the Giant or Robin Williams), and along with hitting all the important beats they somehow uncover new footage and conduct really impressive interviews.This is exactly what happens in "Come Inside My Mind". Since his death in 2014 (and probably even before), Robin Williams has been the subject of many a documentary piece. This one covers maybe 70% of the same ground, but that other 30% is the key. In "Come Inside My Mind", I saw footage of both him and his work that I had never seen before. The interviews with his contemporaries are also riveting and seem to add new perspective rather than hit the same old beats.The bottom line here is that it is tough to make a really good, original Robin Williams documentary these days, but HBO pretty much manages to nail it here. While a scene or two here or there might feel a bit derivative, for the most part this is a very well-produced look at Williams both in front of and behind the cameras.
