At first I thought I’d love this film and I liked quite a bit but there is one glaring issue that makes the rating low for me. The glaring issue is that Shepard presents all these memories and movies he watched but he never truly elaborates, this makes it as a whole feel pretty empty. Still a pretty inspirational film nonetheless, just hugely held back.
