Being Robin (2022) Movie Deputy REVIEWS

- Film Reviews
Being Robin is an emotional experience. Robin Williams was easily one of the greatest comedians of his time and towards the end, he was not only suffering a debilitating illness but he was losing who he was. A quote from the film was that he was losing himself before we did and there is nothing that sums it up better than that.
What we experience here though is much more than that, this is a man who lives and breathes comedy, along that journey he lost himself in substances. In an effort to regain any semblance of self, he turns to another passion in life. In all of that though, who was he really? Am I speaking about Robin, no... I'm speaking of Roger. Amidst all of the changes in his life, he was struggling on many different levels. When Robin appeared to him through himself, he had a purpose again.
Was this the ramblings of a manic episode or was he really connected to Robin? That we may never know, but I for one am taking something away from this. We lost part of ourselves when we lost Robin... what Roger succeeded in doing with this was giving us a piece of ourselves we didn't know we were missing.
Thank you Roger
