Very, very disappointing. At least half of the film showed Roger with his jaw hanging off his face, a gruesome sight. From a film that should have been about the man and his career, we got a horrific depiction of a man with terminal cancer agonizingly going into the death spiral.
Uplifting? Courageous?
Possibly, but not what I'd expected at all, nor the type of film I enjoy.
More about Roger's thoughts and life would have been nice.
Both thumbs down, way down.
