Documentary An intimate portrait of Robin Williams and his invulnerable spirit, Robin's Wish is the story of what really happened to one of the greatest entertainers of all time - and what his mind was fighting.

	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Tyler Norwood's documentary provides further illumination and insight into the performer's tragic condition (...) Harrowing and cathartic."
		Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"A moving portrait of Robin Williams and a harrowing account of the disease that ravaged him."
		Brian Lowry CNN	"An uneven tribute that in part takes the media to task for the way those events were portrayed"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A documentary that’s honest and scary, wrenching and moving. It’s a portrait of the artist as a brave, joyous, wounded soul."
		Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"As potentially valuable as 'Robin’s Wish' is for illuminating Williams’s death it is more affecting and appealing as a tribute."
		Matt Zoller Seitz The New York Times	"The stories of Williams' suffering are illuminating and disturbing (...) a compassionate film that will bring information about Williams' condition to a wide audience (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
