Price has given us Yelchin’s most complete performance: himself. It is a cinematic gift to contemporary film fans everywhere.

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.

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.

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.

Though clearly an adoring tribute, Love, Antosha allows its subject a sort of complicated humanity that expands our understanding of him, largely by locating a tension between his zealous approach to acting and his increased disinterest in celebrity.

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.

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?

Love, Antosha doesn’t break new ground in the celebrity biographical documentary, but it scores over most other examples of the genre simply by virtue of its subject.

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

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.
