Through his journals and other writings, his photography, the original music he wrote, and interviews with his family, friends, and colleagues, this film looks not just at Anton’s impressive career, but at a broader portrait of the man. Born in the former Soviet Union to a family of artists, Anton and his parents came to the U.S. when he was six months old. He started acting at nine. He had a genuine curiosity and love for people, for art, and for family. And a willingness to explore, and be open with, the darker parts of himself.

With Love Antosha, there’s now a coda to Yelchin’s story beyond somber headlines and obits. There’s an impression of who he once was to those who loved him and a sense of how we might remember him having heard their stories. Read full review

You feel the love in Love, Antosha, that’s for sure. But you also feel something else, a sadness that is close to overwhelming. How could it be otherwise? Read full review

A rich reminiscence of a gifted actor who died far too young. Read full review

Andrew Barker

Aug 1, 2019

A touching and surprising portrait of an actor who had much more going on in his life – from a serious illness to some seriously left-field artistic inclinations – than was mentioned in his obituaries. Read full review

It’s a shame that the film never rises above a perfunctory level of hagiography, but retrospective memorial docs rarely do. Read full review

A career cut short by tragedy may not seem like it would provide much material to work with, but, when it comes to the prolific work of actor Anton Yelchin, there's plenty to draw upon -- and to look back upon in awe and melancholy.

This new documentary about his life and work shows just how much living he packed into his 27 years, with so much more left in the tank that he never got a chance to express. Director Garret Price's bittersweet tribute to a multitalented (and underappreciated) artist features a wealth of clips from Yelchin's nearly 70 film and TV appearances and his many musical performances, along with a star-studded array of interviews from those who worked with him, those who knew him as a friend and the parents who adored him. Despite some occasionally sluggish pacing in the first 30 minutes, the film nevertheless manages to evoke a curious mixture of wonder, sadness and fondness in recognition of someone taken too soon.… Expand

This movie is more of a tribute of course and i think Anton himself would love to watch something more adventurous and inventive than what we got here.

A great example of what it means to make a tribute to someone who left us in such an early and cruelly tragic way. Such is life.
