Can't decide whether to go tomorrow or wait for it on May 17.

Just got back from seeing this.
Overall, it's a well done film. Lots of unfamiliar footage of and, especially, by Heath--really the best part. Interesting, personal stories by people who knew and loved him. More standard format than I had expected: the usual talking heads (seated in front of a Sears-portrait-studio backdrop, strangely), the usual chronological approach.
Understandably adoring of Heath--his bright light, his energy, his generosity, his great potential as a director--and little mention of anything negative. Nothing sensational about his death, thankfully.
Lovely words from Ang--the Chinese saying "even god is jealous".
I was especially moved by Ben Harper. His story of being asked by Heath to write Matilda a lullaby, and then singing it, got to me.
Very sparsely attended. After the credits, they played what must be the dvd extras.
I'll always be sad that Heath never got to direct the chess-related novel, "The Queen's Gambit", possibly with Elllen Page. With his extensive talent at chess, I'm sure he could have created a fascinating visual interpretation.

Thanks Paul!
