Suffers from attempt to inject an over arching narrative
23 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This documentary shows Nilsson had a great deal of love in his life. The women whom he loved seem warm and wonderful, and his children to be likable people.

It is not the fault of the subjects that this documentary disappoints; It is solely the responsibility of the film maker (s).

The questions reveal that the documentary makers have not approached the subject with an open mind ( Nowhere is this more apparent than when Nilsson's 3rd wife,Una, speaks about his crusade for gun control.) and instead feel they need to create, or inject, a synthetic story arc. Whilst so doing, they poor scorn on Harry's attempt to fight the violence of hand guns by editing the answers given to suit their own narrative.

The film is itself, as it supposes of much of Nilsson's life, a missed opportunity.
