2/5
This documentary gives us a paper-thin authorised version of his story. There's a hint of more interesting stuff below, but director Adrian Buitenhuis never looks like going there. Go to Full Review

What I Am Paul Walker doesn't broach, with its adoring tone and lack of third-party experts, are any of the contradictions within its presentation. Go to Full Review
Peter Gray The AU Review 05/04/2019
3.5/5
What we can take away from this film though is that the fandom that surrounded him may have been because of what he presented on the surface, but it ultimately should exist because of who he was underneath. Go to Full Review

8/10
It reminds me quite a bit of the late actor himself. It is not the flashiest, nor most stylized of films, much in the same way he was a very understated actor. However, both the documentary and Walker emote such genuine and touching sincerity... Go to Full Review

As Furious Seven showed, he was family to all of us and we miss him. I Am Paul Walker is a loving tribute to his memory. Go to Full Review

A touching and moving tribute to a charismatic and talented actor, this feels more like a glowing eulogy than an introspective documentary. Go to Full Review

05/05/2020 It's well done and moving but it lacks depth, comments from bigger number of people form movie industry and most of all it lacks Paul's love of BJJ (he had a brown belt in the moment of his death) and martial arts generally.

I would have liked to have heard from Meadow and her mum and their experiences with Paul. Also, I am sure there were a few broken hearted women he left in his wake but I still thought it showed who he was. A thing to remember is life can be taken from you at any time so make the most of it. See more 08/12/2018 A respectfully touching, emotionally-triggering portrait of Paul Walker that goes over his connective lifestyle and preferences as further behind-the-scenes depth to his roles, but the most powerful aspect is the involvement of his family and friends enriching the known charm and accompanying, with permission, home videos - under the nostalgic aura - and backstories. In addition to the presented clips, the documentary becomes more fulfilling when telling a thorough story of one's life with a personal perspective being posthumously told in effective responses that continues the whole flow very nicely with no abruptions. The biographical narrative this presents also leads in its own effect that makes the known finale more chilling as a little extra weight to the tragedy.
