My only glaring observation is this documentary didn't go deep enough. It needed more exploration, more explanation and just more..... It never really climaxed and we're not learning anything new here that wasn't already known through the internet; Really disappointed to be honest. It did nothing for me.
It did a good job, however of documenting Tim's climb, but not so much his downfall, making the documentary a bit one sided. Maybe I was just expecting something more comprehensive? I'm not sure what they were trying to achieve with making this documentary. Was it just an intention to only shed light on his music career and portray him in that light? That's what it seems like to me.

This documentary showcases his most iconic tracks. It reached out, grabbed my heart and left me with a lump in my throat. Heartbreaking.
A beautiful tribute, and I'm glad they documented part of his life (one cannot capture everything). To be "successful" carries so much weight, one never knows how heavy it is on the heart and the burden it brings to the soul.
There are those who keep the status quo and give audiences what they are used to, and that's ok. Then there is the rarity, like Tim, who will give what the audiences expect but will then slowly educate and open their musical minds and tastes to new sounds. He was a true creative, one who goes beyond their comfort zone to break through EDM's borders by mixing different styles. A true artist.

So firstly, a great documentary. It started off great and he really did come across as a nice guy, and we all know at least one or two of his songs. However,
we know most of that already and this would have been a great opportunity to explain to the audience more of his struggles, how bad were the drugs and drinking what friends were not the right type around him, why did the manager leave and not speak to Tim was it over money and lack of loyalty.
Lastly, although personal but if your doing a documentary we just needed a better understanding of such an early death how bad it really was or was this not explained due to the guilt of the people around him who never done enough.

I'm not a fan. I like a handful of his songs, but this documentary made me understand the greatness of Avicii and the impact of his music.
I mostly enjoy rock and soul music. After watching this documentary, the creativity of this young man truly resonated with me and completely changed my perspective on his music.
But most importantly, it showed his pure soul and how his music truly came from the heart.
I'm a relatively older man, and the mindset of this young guy made me reflect deeply and wipe the tears from my face.
Whenever I listen to his music, I'll remember that I need to become a better person.

I cannot possibly write an unbiased review for this. I'm the kind of person who convinced my family to visit Stockholm just to go to the Avicii Experience, who has read Tim's official biography, who owns True, Stories, and Tim on vinyl, along with plenty of merch from the official website. I listen to his music almost every day-he remains one of my most-listened-to artists every year, even after his passing.
As I write this on New Year's Eve, I'm still emotional after crying my eyes out watching Avicii: I'm Tim on its release date. The ending completely broke my heart. This documentary deserves to be seen alongside Netflix's other release today, My Last Show, which features some of his most successful and well-known songs.
We may never truly understand what was going through his mind, but he left us with a powerful message in his final songs and lyrics. Tracks like "SOS," "Hold the Line," and "Ain't a Thing" are deeply emotional and hauntingly beautiful. As he once said after stepping away from touring: "I will never let go of music. I will continue to speak to my fans through it."
Tim, you are deeply missed. I'm so grateful to everyone who made this documentary possible-it's a heartfelt gift to all his fans. The melodies he created are not just music; they're memories of my teenage years and an endless source of inspiration.
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did.
