Beautiful, moving film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is a thorough, up-close look at KISS drummer Eric Carr and the person he was until his death of cancer at age 41. It begins with his childhood and how he got into drumming, the bands he played for until he got with KISS, his KISS audition, and his time with the band. It includes numerous interviews with his parents, friends, and musicians Carr played with. Conspicuous by their absence are the other members of KISS (Ace, Gene, and Paul) who, had they participated, would have given this documentary the extra amount of credibility to really put it over the top. Its also clear the filmmakers could not get the rights to the KISS music library as there is not a KISS song is heard throughout the entire program, concert footage is shown without the music. But this is not a documentary about KISS, its about Eric, and there are tons of family pictures and home videos that haven't been shown elsewhere. By the end, you get an excellent feel about what kind of person Eric was and how everyone who came in contact with him have nothing but praise for the person he was. You almost feel like you knew him yourself by the end.A good effort, even if its pretty clear the filmmakers had limited resources at their disposal. If your an Eric Carr fan or even a KISS fan, this really is a must see.
