As though life is imitating art, actor and sex-symbol, Andy Whitfield, had just become a star as the lead in the hit television series, "Spartacus," when he is faced with his biggest personal challenge: life-threatening cancer. Be Here Now is a documentary that follows him on his dramatic journey to cure himself. Confirmed in matching affirmative tattoos, he and his charismatic wife and their two children, commit to taking Andy's healing into their own hands and living life fully, not in the shadows of the disease. Each step tests their limits and strength of character, while revealing their tenderness, humor and determination. And, as each person goes through their own transformations, the film becomes an inspiring and universal story of courage, love and resilience.

It gets you without you realising

I read the reviews here before going in, not expecting the film to live up to them and leaving the cinema I thought it hadn't.

On the train home I thought it hadn't, The following few days I thought it hadn't and then I realised it was taking up all my spare brain space. I watched the midnight showing of the new star wars, even on the way home I had moved on from that. This never left, it was raw, it was emotional, even knowing the outcome you wished for it to be different. You cry for the family and because of the story and because of how they opened up their lives to show you something as personal as this. Live for the moment as you never know, if you can, go see this film!, Be Here Now!

One of the most honest documentaries I have seen

I loved the show Spartacus and of-course the actors in it. Andy being the lead actor was superb in his role. While I was not aware of the story, this is a must watch for those looking for a real documentary. A story that is inspiring in every way possible, uplifting, emotional with elements of spiritual awakenings. True to it title, "be here now", the documentary makes you greatly appreciate what you have in a transformative way which has been brilliantly directed, shot, edited and put out.

A must see documentary

Hopefully this project will get the recognition that it deserves. It's an amazing glimpse into an unbearably difficult experience, but for those who are willing to share it the journey is well worthwhile. Your heart will break, but you will walk away inspired to live your life with purpose, reminded to cherish whatever time you are given here. Somehow, after watching what this poor family and lovely man had to endure, many/most of my "problems" just didn't seem that significant anymore. This is one of those rare documentaries that helps to put our often baffling existence into context. Kudos to both the family and the filmmakers for offering this to the world. For fans of Andy Whitfield, it's a must-see; everyone else will be a fan once they've seen it. Highly recommended!!!

Is it for real ? So alive, and so sudden

I was touched by the simplicity and how reels it feels. Prior to watching, I didn't know the ending, and I was expecting him to recover. With such a solid and nice body, with such a positive attitude toward life. So it was a strong shock to see this healthy man going heavily affected by his sickness in such a short period of time. You realize then it can happen to anyone, any time. We take our life, our health for granted, our everyday life. As he said, some complains about having a black spot on their face, and I have cancer... It puts things in perspective. It takes courage to see death coming. It takes a shift, and most of us don't see it coming until the very end.

Huge Spartacus Fan...

As a huge Spartacus series fan, I often wondered some of the details of the lead actor's off-show life. This documentary of his life is extremely well told, with incredible insights to him and his family's thoughts, feelings and perceptions of how things transpired between season 1 and 2 and beyond.

It is definitely worth the time, as it is very entertaining and educational!
