This movie was complex, in that the subject is autistic, and in many ways wants his story told. The subjects that were touched upon and not delved into too deeply (father, abuse) were obviously not cut deeply due to the fragile nature of autism. There was enough story there to know what happened to Richard as a boy, details not needed, and would have been harmful to Richard to probe and announce that which is obviously still painful for him. I thought the film-makers did a good job of covering Richard's life, history, his obsessions with certain famous people/music, and the struggles of his daily life (diabetes, self-care, finances). The movie was touching, beautiful, and showed the complexities of this special man. Clearly, I disagree with the person who thought this was too long, and not enough depth into the story.
