Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet

This heartfelt documentary is also, more subtly, a tribute to the squadron of caregivers that has enabled Mr. Becker not only to survive for an extraordinarily long time but also to continue to compose music, using virtually the only part of him that still moves, his eyes.

Vile's moving documentary can't go wrong with such an inspiring, funny and genuinely nice guy taking the spotlight he deserves.

An intense, emotional ride. Uplifting and inspiring.

Expertly measured, emotional look at the life of a guitar prodigy cut down by ALS.

Oddly, though, for a film so dedicated to celebrating what he can still accomplish, his early performing career gets a lot more emphasis than the music still being composed. And that's a pity, because what little we hear is entrancing.

This film is justifiably celebratory and respectful, and it reaches out beyond the rock fanbase.

Jesse Vile's film, despite its best intentions, is merely a serviceable extension of his own fandom.
