Review
A fascinating look at the eventful life
and peculiar character of actor Val Kilmer, an offbeat movie star of
the 1990s. In this documentary by the filmmaking duo of Leo Scott
and Ting Poo, Kilmer talks about everything from his battle with
throat cancer, which has all but ended his acting career, to how he
got into a career in the movie business, his marriage with actress
Joanna Whalley, and being a father to his children Mercedes and
Jack. The main reason why Val is such a rewarding and
immersive watch is the vast amount of video footage shot by Kilmer
during the course of his life, which is seamlessly merged into this
tale by the filmmakers. Another reason is of course Kilmer's
wonderfully optimistic take on life. Hollywood actors aren't always
the most interesting people, but this guy is an obvious exception.
