Matthew W. @Mattrocks704 10h Strong emotional story, if anyone is struggling with mental health please seek help. It not a burden on anyone. See more Jay C. @JayCassario 2d I went into this doc with no expectations, just looking to watch as I worked. 15 minutes in and I was mesmerized by the story being presented. It’s a story that will stick with me a while. See more Shona P @Shona700 2d Aw, this one will stick with me for a long time. He was a thoroughly decent man, struggling to be human in a world lacking in humanity. Really heartbreaking. But this documentary manages to elevate his final, extreme gesture to the status of art - there is poetry in his reach for the sky, it's astonishing and you can't help but to admire his daring. See more Simon H @RT00465208 3d As a pilot I was eager to watch this. Im afraid to say this is stereotypical American over-dramatisation. Talk about stretching it out for all it was worth. That aside, my commentary has more to say about current society and how pathetically weak we have become. Yes this guy obviously had a psychological break, granted. But when that happens you stop work or you see a Dr or you medicate, or any number of other things. What you do not do it what this guy did. And no, airline management did not cause this, nor did his earning minimum wage. Millions earn min wage, they dont off themselves because if it. This was indulgent self gratification and entitlement. I do pity the guy, moreover I pity the people he left behind, but if we all responded to stress as this guy did, there would be a global shortage of straight jackets! Finally, shame on the producers for spotlighting skin colour here, that was a very poor attempt at cashing in on the current pathetic state of American society. See more T G @RT51979266 3d Profound, devastating and in a strange way, beautiful. His story always got me chocked up, but the whole story brought me to tears. Watching his family & friends listen to his last moments & explain the amount of messages they received from working class citizens, particularly in the airline industry, should all give us pause. We need to treat workers better and give hope to people who are struggling to find purpose and joy in our lives. Rip Beebo. See more Andrew H @Amheksoh 4d I didn’t expect a lot from this, but it delivered at the highest level. It’s a very tough concept to navigate, but they did it. With all the controversy around it, Russel’s family and friends gave very valuable insight on his life, and clarified even more the kind of person he was. The story is one I think everybody should know. It’s devastating. In the best way possible, this is one of the best documentaries/films that I will never watch again. Aside from some incorrect sounds put over certain parts of the real footage and some ai generated clips (I get it, it’s not a $100M production) I thought this was a very good documentary. Highly recommend. See more Read all reviews
