Plot summary

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.

A frustrating piece. As a serious fan, I found it lacking. Fifty percent landscape and cityscape shots. So many missing pieces, such as missing persons among the interviewees and a notable dearth of archival footage and complete songs (I could have cobbled together more from my old VHS and audio cassettes). As a biopic, it fails. But, as a celebration of his music, it fails just as much. I watched it with my girlfriend, who has little knowledge of Elliott or his music, and we both came away from it dissatisfied. If this isn't for the hardcore fans and it isn't for the newcomers, who is it for? Elliott referred to his songs as impressions. If this documentary is attempting to create an impression of his life and/or music, it's the unfinished demo tape of a jam session. Elliott's music was lean and visceral. He deserves better than a movie that's so sloppily edited and emotionally empty.

Having watched this twice - on its release

Having watched this twice - on its release and again on ES’s birthday yesterday (a decade later), it is still underwhelming. And frankly very boring. It’s mostly interviews with people who knew him personally, which is fine, but it was not cohesive. Little footage of him, so much of his story left out and no one from outside his world to convey his impact. Would love to see his story better told, because it is worth telling.
