The documentary shows Louis' journey in becoming the person we know as today, the sweetheart of Doncaster. He is very in depth and honest with what he showcases. He goes into detail explaining his struggles as an artist but as a grieving son and brother as well. Louis is a very sensitive and emotional guy, and I admire that. It is refreshing seeing a man being confident in his self but his emotions as well. He is unknowingly breaking such a deep rooted societal norm and he's doing it in a way that is real and raw. I'd also like to point out how gay his shows are. I know this doesn't have anything to do with what I said before but it's beautiful seeing how happy and safe his fans are with him. There wasn't a scene without a pride flag being visible, good for him 👍

It's both moving and inspiring to see a musician devastated by the end of a chapter of his career and heartbroken by personal loss rise above his self doubt and create a symbiotic relationship with his audience. I wanted to watch the documentary again immediately after, to feel the energy and be inspired again. The insight into his relationship with his kid is heartwarming and the synergy between him and his band is amazing. It was also great to see family members sharing their perspectives. It doesn't seem that fame or success have had any impact on his character. What an amazing artist and person Louis Tomlinson is!! He deserves all the recognition!

Have you ever seen Forrest Gump? Better than that. Have you seen the Hangover? Funnier than that! Have you seen the Titanic? Sadder than that.

In all realness, Louis is super underrated and I'm really happy he got to share his story in such a large scale. I think he is probably the most unseen member of one direction but has been my favorite since the beginning so after watching the film I'm glad I have been able to follow him and listen to his music all these years. He is truly talented and no one really knows. This film was beautiful and gut wrenching and I'm so happy I'm a Louis Tomlinson fan.

The man in the moment , path he took , choices he made, people he lost and grief he processed. Heart warming , gut wrenching documentary that travels through real life emotions. Inspite of having a difficult journey than most of his counterparts, Louis is neither whining nor preaching. He does not say justify why he did something, or dwell on the negatives. Most celebrities dont understand what it means to not have money, or grind 14 hours every day to just put a meal on the plate, but Louis acknowledges this. This is what makes Louis' documentary very unique and special. We watch Louis as a boy from small town with lot of curiosity and questions. We understand that life hasnt always been fair to him, but he eludes positivity in every situation. The best thing in this documentary is that we have always known Louis to articulate his answers better, but here we feel it in our bones. His relationship with family , friends and fans are phenomenal. The scenarios that he passes through, absorbs and how he reacts to them, makes him very relatable. We dont see the journey as a celebrity, but as a teenager who questioned a lot of his abilities and contribution in the band. We see him in his insecurities, sadness and hope. We celebrate him in his achievements and self-content The friendship with his team and band members shows him as a person of loyalty and down to earth. One of the best celebrity documentaries that shows all facets of life - of a boy we loved, the man we admire. Even if you just know 5% of his life, grab those comforting napkins and run to the cinemas!

Absolutely loved this film. It offered lovely insights into Louis development as an artist and his personal story.

Watching the film really was an emotional rollercoaster as Louis has been through some tough times. Exerts from his family really brought this part of his story to life.

The sections about his early days and One Direction were wonderful to see.

It was also fantastic to see exerts from Louis' recent world tour and new album and really see how he has developed his personal style.

The story is told in a sensitive and engaging way that was completely absorbing. Well done to Louis, Charlie Lightening and everyone else involved in making this beautiful and moving film.

Amazing, amazing film. To know this has been in the making for a few years now. Captures the lows and highs of Louis' life. Charlie did a great job at the cinematography. Seeing Louis grow from when One Direction went on Hiatus, to his journey as an individual artist. Louis' relationship with his band, his fans, his family is explored in the film. Really felt the energy from the live shows and what it meant to Louis. The songs from Faith in the Future acted as the perfect Background score for the movie. I have a feeling I'm going to watch it over and over again. Hoping it's made available to stream soon!!

This movie is the most honest and raw work of art ever created by louis. Everything about this was screaming sincerity and vulnerability and everyone could not just understand but also feel every word he said. This movie just made me appreciate louis more as not just an artist but also as the person he is. The highs and lows of the kind of life he lives is shown without exaggeration and absolutly great cinematography. I absolutely did not expect to cry as much as i did but many of those tears were from happiness and respect for louis. Loved every second of it. So proud of the work of art that louis and Charlie have created.

It was such an emotional rollercoaster but i had the best time ever!! You get to see loads of behind the scenes and louis tomlinson's emotional journey. Even if you are not particularly the biggest louis tomlinson fan ever, it still gives you more of an insight to the musical journey that many artists have. You get to see both the good and bad sides of celebrities lives in general and it was honestly quite eye-opening. I was honestly so focused on the screen the entire time. If you do end up watching it, i hope you having an amazing time. It's so lovely to have the entire cinema laughing along and crying with you. I hope you all enjoy!!

Wow. He's continuing to make me more proud with everything he does and i think that louis is a person that the whole world should see and know. He's so talented and amazing. I hope people that doesn't know who louis is also choose to watch this movie because i promise you everyone who watches it will definitely love him bc it's simply impossible not to. This movie shows all the sides of him and his journey and you really get to understand him and his story better. All i was thinking during the whole movie was just: i don't want this movie to end. And i think that's a pretty good sign this was an absolute banger. Thank you louis.

This was the best documentary of an artist I have ever seen, it wasn't just about his career and what he did backstage like many documentaries are, it expressed who he really was, his insecurities, his highs and lows, his fears, his joys and all the hard work that led to where he is now, all the hard work he did to be proud of what he did and deserving of all his success, everyone should see this documentary to get to know the real Louis, so genuine, kind, spontaneous and charismatic. I have a lot of admiration for Louis both personally and artistically. Thank you Louis. We are so proud of you, we love you so so much.

This was the most emotional, sincere and moving artist documentary I've ever seen. Started crying from the first minute and I felt so connected to Louis. His journey as an artist but also as an individual were so heartbreaking but full of hope. He definitely deserves where he is right after all of that hard work. The connection between him and his fans are so easily visible. I've never seen an artist talk about their fans the way that he does. Even if you're not a fan of his I suggest you to watch it. It's a beautiful emotional rollercoaster. As he beautifully put it, "I need you and you need me".

The vulnerability Louis displays is nothing new and positively beautiful. He's always been vulnerable, through his lyrics, his interactions with fans, and the choices he makes, and seeing him vulnerable in this film just shows that since day 1, he has been the authentic, down to earth, talented artist that is vastly underrated and deserves so much more. Absolutely loved this insight into his life, and seeing how his touring band feels in regards to their relationship with him is positively heartwarming. He might be famous, but he's real.

He is just a good guy. He needs us and we need him. Simple as that.

The movie beautifully captures Louis' journey from a small town boy from Doncaster to fame of one direction to sudden and ongoing hiatus, the occurrence of devastating events in his personal life losing confidence in himself to gradually rediscovering his passion for music to an ongoing process of growing as an individual and as a solo artist finding his music. And the most mesmerising of all: the connection, the relationship he shares with his fans and how we uplift each other almost like a bond for life. Everything was worth watching while drinking the potion of emotions. A Must watch unapologetic, honest and heart pouring louis's Voice.!!

This was basically a love letter to all us louies and i never felt more appreciated. I cried and laughed and cried again the whole time, like liam said, watching louis' life trough his eyes was such an overwhelming heart wrenching experience! I'm so glad he showed us this side of himself, and i just love this man even more. I'm so excited so watch his show in October and follow his journey. I never knew how hard this was for him, how everything just went down again and again and again. He felt so out of luck, it was heartbreaking to watch. I'm so happy we showed him love constantly day after day, so he realised his worth in the end. I will defend this man with my life til' i die, i swear to god. He's just to precious for the world.

Louis really opens up and tells his story from a view we've never seen before. So raw and emotional, I'm speechless honestly. I thought I knew a lot, but obviously there's always still so much you can learn about a person. Especially one in an industry such as this. You tend to only see one side of things, the side the cameras show you. This takes things not only behind the camera per-say, but very much into the most meaningful and deep parts of his life. I am so glad he decided to share this with us and as a fan, I'm so proud of everything he's accomplished. I'll always, always be a fan! A must watch for sure!!

I laughed and cried during the film. Louis seems like such a genuinely good and down to earth person and he deserved better during One Direction. It's amazing to see his success and happiness after so much tragedy in his life. His relationship with his son is beautiful. I saw this with my husband. We are in our forties and fully expected to be the oldest in the theater but we weren't. Louis has successfully created a fan base of all ages. Despite my husband not knowing much about Louis or his music he also enjoyed the film very much. I will likely watch it again if it comes to a streaming service.

The documentary is beautiful, the way it is narrated and produced makes you enter the moment, I cried like three times, I could not help it, some parts of the documentary are very sad, it feels very deep, I loved the way Louis opened up with us, I loved every line, I came out of there with an apprenticeship, grateful for life, with faith in the future and especially admiring Louis Tomlinson more, I am very proud of him. At all times I could feel a pure energy, I could fully empathize with him, I could understand the world from his eyes, for everything he fought, he deserves all the good in the world.

This documentary shows raw emotion and struggles, but most of all it portrays hope. It brings a wonderful story about fighting through, feeling like the world is coming for you but then being able to rely on your surroundings and coming out of it stronger. My respect for Louis as a person and as a singer songwriter/ performer has immensely grown. The visuals and music were beautiful, the story gorgeous. You get a laugh and a cry out of it. I watched it in the theatre, and everyone felt so connected, tears collectively slipping off our cheeks while sniffling one moment and the laughter rumbling off our chests the next. This was such a unique experience. I will watch this emotional masterpiece again as soon as it's available for streaming. It's incredibly inspiring, I'm in awe of this man.

All around amazing. To see Louis change his viewpoint of himself from the beginning to the end was amazing to see. He's truly one of the most inspirational people and to see his growth throughout so much hardship leaves viewers with so many emotions. This was perfectly done. It told the story in a way that didn't fixate too much on the highly emotional aspects but made sure to include those aspects into the story as they are important. The tour footage was so high energy and incredible to see the backstage footage. Left me feeling inspired and in awe. I've always identified with Louis for multiple reasons and this film just set that into stone. Truly a must see.

This is a beautifully filmed and carefully crafted deeper look into Louis and his journey as an artist. The vulnerability and rawness that was conveyed through this film shows so much about Louis as a person, about what he has had to overcome and what he has worked toward. The world is so lucky to have someone as wonderful as Louis Tomlinson and this film is only a small window into his beautiful soul. I can't put into words just how proud I am of Lou. To be his fan means the world to me, and he never fails to make us feel safe, loved, and special just the way we are. Such a beautiful movie about such a beautiful person.

An beautiful, interesting and vulnerable insight into louis' life and career - a chance to get a glimpse what's going on behind the scenes. Emotional & heartbreaking scenes, followed by laughter & impressive scenes - a great mixture!

Insights into his childhood, his private life, the beginnings of his career up to where he is right now. Louis talks about being a father, his hardships in life, his self-doubt and how he found and kept being himself afterall. Additionally comments and insights from his family and friends and tour content with his band.

Astonishing what he has achieved after all he's been through!!

I don't think words will ever be enough to describe what I felt during the movie. It was a rollercoaster of happiness,anger and sadness But in the end it filled us all with warmth and safeness. All throughout the movie there were times I thought "God what i would do to protect this angel of a man. I would literally take all bullets for Lou and shield louis from all the bad parts of life". Ultimately louis taught us that there's hope and goodness even in the most hardest parts of life and gave us strength to face the real world and rise even when the whole world's waiting for you to loose. In conclusion louis deserves the entire universe and beyond.

You're gonna cry and you're gonna smile. You're gonna be so proud of Louis. Even more than you already are. You're gonna be proud of who he is and where he is now after all the difficult things that have happened in his life. He is so strong and so kind. I smiled almost the entire film long and my cheeks hurt at the end. A lot of people stayed seated until all of the credits were over and the screen went black. I felt so full of joy coming out of that room. So proud and feeling so much love towards Louis. I love and support him so much, and after watching this film, I do even more so. I loved it and I immediately wanted to watch it over and over again. I really hope it's gonna come out on dvd.
