Heaven Adores You is an intimate, meditative inquiry into the life and music of Elliott Smith. By threading the music of Elliott Smith through the dense, yet often isolating landscapes of the three major cities he lived in -- Portland, New York City, Los Angeles -- Heaven Adores You presents a visual journey and an earnest review of the singer's prolific songwriting and the impact it continues to have on fans, friends, and fellow musicians.

Definitely was trying for the happy-go-lucky tale of events. Deliberately leaving out key information, can't help but feel the director was just a bit too close to the source material here. Maybe less shots of the scenery and a more realistic account.

I don't listen to as much Elliot Smith as I should, so all I know is that he was a sad motherfucker, and this posthumous bio-doco captures that same sadness. Very good for a Kickstarter documentary, with a focused narrative and some delightful imagery of the Portland city, this is a rockumentary that has all the standard rock story points (shy main man, drug use, isolation, suicide) but is told in a way to not make it seem so standard and familiar.
