Worthwhile, if simply too short to do such a complex figure justice.

Interesting, short documentary about Drake's life, death and music if not as affecting and poetic as the somewhat similar short documentary "A Skin Too Few."

This film more standard "talking heads" in it's approach, feels like it focuses more on just how opaque Drake was, even to those who knew him, and how his depression slowly grew worse over time. It also includes more and longer snippets of his music, and more information on a chronological literal level – both it's strength and it's weakness. I

'd like to see a feature length doc that delved more deeply into both the man's and his music, bringing the poetic, tragic and informational together.
