Very well executed

good back-story, and good acting

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

I just saw this documentary and it truly moves you. From such a young age Robbert never gave up on his dream to become a successful DJ. This documentary not only shared some amazing background/stories about Robbert/Hardwell it also sent out a message to dreamers out there ''that if you have a dream do not give up'' and chase your dreams. Truly it was a inspirational documentary. Also the fact that Robberts parents supported him from day 1 and helped him and even almost giving up on their own things in the beginning to follow Robbert on his gigs in the beginning was just amazing and touching to watch. Anyone watching this documentary will love Robbert music even more regardless if your a fan or not. Dreams indeed can get fulfilled!!!

"I Am Hardwell, the Documentary" should instead be called "I Am Robbert Hardwell", as it shows masterfully the journey and ambition of a little 16 year old boy, from Breda in the Netherlands who, one day, got to be the #1 DJ in the World, known to us as Hardwell. I Am Hardwell, shows Robbert's dream and what him (and his parents) had to sacrifice so he could become DJ Hardwell. It shows the progression of how he went from playing little clubs in his hometown to headlining Ultra Music Festival and such, and also how DJ legends, like Tiesto and Chuckie, helped him and influenced him to get to where he is now… I am Hardwell is just the beginning of the journey and it'll leave you wanting more.

Over a year ago I heard that there was a Hardwell documentary in the making about his path to become Nr. 1 DJ in the world (according to DJ MAG). I like his music, and was present in the Amsterdam RAI when he in fact was crowned Nr. 1 DJ, so, I had high expectations of this film.Those high expectations where absolutely gone after 5 minutes. Without any doubt Robin Piree and Aziz Al-Dilaimi where 'inspired' by Take One, the documentary about the Swedish House Mafia boys. What they seem to forget, is that a 'Made by iMovie' style is never, ever going to entertain the viewer. At no point did I got carried away with the personal life of Robbert, the way he makes his music and a feeling for his way of performing in general. Filming is shaky, editing is bad but most important, the audio is frequently of very poor quality. Also the editors decided to use phonecam footage straight of YouTube, why oh why would you want to do that!?It's a documentary you could watch with little attention while playing a game or browsing the web, if you don't want to completely waste your time.
