I Am Heath Ledger is far too loving a portrait to be confused for art — don’t expect another “Amy” — but the film’s superficial approach is buoyed by an overwhelming degree of sincerity.

The documentary gives an intimate look at the life of actor Heath Ledger through his own camera as he films his personal journey. His friends and family appear in interviews describing the person they knew behind the scenes as an artist and a human being, and the memories he left behind.

The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
The doc is less interested in analyzing Ledger's acting technique than in impressing viewers with his overall creative drive.
I Am Heath Ledger feels like a glancing take on the actor. It takes us through his professional life, and some of his personal one, but it never provides a full picture of him.
I Am Heath Ledger is a catchy and seductive portrait of an extraordinary artist, but it leaves you wanting more, because you know it’s not close to being all of Heath Ledger.
Ultimately, this rueful picture of Heath Ledger is a loving celebration of a passionate spirit and a tribute fittingly seen through the eyes of the artist himself.
Entertainment Weekly by Shirley Li
What it does offer, however, is a touching celebration of his life — and it largely does so by using a collection of home videos Ledger recorded throughout his career.
