Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain

I thought it was ok overall as it wasn't that interesting to me, but I did respect the journey Anthony made to get where he was in life.

A deep, illuminating look at the life of a man who we all felt close to, and a shocking sense of loss at his untimely demise.

Utterly compelling portrait of Anthony Bordain.I just respect and admire him even more. Such a sensitive, but damaged and vulnerable, genius. Struggling with fame, the injustice of the modern world and his endless search for meaning. Such a tragedy - such a loss.

Didn't know much about him but this was a great doc. So much raw footage always was compelling. And sad but not pity. Almost angry at his decision. I liked that.

Sad but essential watching for Bourdain fans, a fair, respectful portrayal of his unravelling.

A must see if you're a fan. Simple as that.

Wow, big surprise that an audience gets tricked by a documentary...again. I swear, if I had a penny for every fact a documentary left out, I'd be as rich as Bourdain was. I gotta give this thing half a bag for showing how much of a jerk the guy really was. Let's be honest, he left behind a daughter and treated ppl awfully by a lot of accounts in the film. They left out that he paid $380,000 to cover up that Asia Argento allegedly sexually assaulted a 17 year old dude. You think that may have affected his mental health? Then, they use AI to read a bunch of private journal entries, which was dubious and unethical. I thought "man I can't believe the guy was so self-important that he recorded all this personal stuff," well he didn't! I do think they got the point that he should be remembered for the culinary adventures and all that. Josh Homme in this movie was a downer, QOTSA sucks hey 2004 called and they want their half assed indie rock back!

This is a brilliant documentary on the adult life and success of Anthony Bourdain, warts and all. I found myself mesmerized by his charismatic charm and his authentic, complicated nature as a "mediocre cook" to a global book and television sensation. The film has great historical footage which showcase this wild ride. The film also is filled with interviews of people that knew and worked with Tony. These folks clearly loved and admired him, but were very forthcoming about the challenges of working with Tony. We see how his being beloved contrasts his desire to be able to love. The film is good film making. Not too long. It is well structured and well made-unlike many modern, so called, documentaries. The film starts out, in Tony's own words, telling you the story will not have a happy ending. The story night not have a happy ending, but the ride is joyous.

He was charismatic and enigmatic, soulful and thoughtful - a great documentary to reflect on him and his impact.

Anthony Bourdain, as told by his friends and associates. There's an impressive amount of film of him from much of his life, letting you get an impression of him as a young chef, a budding author, and a seasoned TV personality and travel show host.
