Pretty good documentary about a truly fascinating man, with an incredibly interesting and adventurous life. To its great credit, it comes with no agenda other than being an objective and informative covering of Hemingway's life from beginning to end. Provides a picture of his flaws, such as tendencies toward meanness and jealousy - no doubt due to insecurities. And also his intelligence, wisdom, courage, and incredible vitality. By all accounts he was one of those singular people who'd completely dominate any room they're in just by his presence. Will certainly feel there was a lot more to Hemingway than is in this documentary, but there's only so much you can cover in 6 hours, and everything that was in a life such as Hemingway's makes it particularly challenging. Particularly grateful for the information provided in better understanding his suicide, specifically his numerous head injuries, continuous drinking, and family history of depression. Was like the "hat trick" combination of suicide causes, your left with compassion on how he must have felt.
