Ratings and reviews

As a Dave Navarro fan and a true crime buff, I found this documentary to be very compeling, interesting, vert well made, good quality, and worth the money and time. Will definately be watching over and over again.

Dave Navarro takes you on a trip down a very dark road but along the way gives you a little humor. I knew the story but never knew the details. Sometimes it can be hard to watch but you get an understanding on his addiction and the choices he has made through out his life. Overall, it is a beautiful story dedicated to his mom's life. Highly recommend.

Being a survivor must say well thought out production. Shows Dave's view..the pain the trauma, the loss. . Also shows his strength and heartaches in a motherless, clueless society.
