A beautiful and moving documentary of a legend that's the definition of the word actor, loved by the world with his talent of acting, making people laugh and will never be forgotten, he will live on In his films. Thanks for the everlasting laughter robin.. you are worth it... you were successful..
One of the greatest losses this century, Williams is to be missed, not only for his tremendous humour, but also for the man beneath that, somebody loved by so many. I didn't know him, but I felt as if I knew him. I loved his comedy, relished Mork and Mindy as a kid, and his movies inspired me in so many ways, Dead Poets Society and Popeye in particular. Okay, perhaps not that last one! The doc is a moving tribute to the man, and while not as incisive as it could have been maybe, it still made my heart (and my funny bones) ache for him. God bless you Robin - I have seized the day so many times because of you - and I hope I see and hear more of you in Heaven. What dreams may come indeed!
Excelente actor y cómico de mente rápida... Un verdadero genio para hacer reír...lo seguía desde mork and mindy.
A somewhat rudimentary bio-doc that isn't especially insightful, but which features excellent archival material
Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind is a fairly rudimentary bio-doc that fails to live up to its subtitle; the Robin Williams presented in the film is no more knowable than Robin Williams the stand-up comedian or Robin Williams the Academy Award-winning actor. The film opens with a clip from his 2001 appearance on Inside the Actors Studio, with host James Lipton asking him about his "mental reflexes", wondering if his mind simply works faster than the rest of us. This prompts Williams to leap to his feet and launch into an improvised tour de force of jokes, puns, wordplay, double entendre, accents, characters, meta-commentary, and sight gags. Getting a standing ovation, he sits back down, but he never actually answers the original question, and Lipton doesn't press him on it. Come Inside My Mind essentially reproduces this exchange – it asks questions about Williams, gives him a platform, marvels at his on-stage energy, but never manages to elicit or elucidate much in the way of genuine psychological insight. What the film most definitely does have going for it, however, is the superbly chosen archival footage, much of it not seen in years, which shows Williams at the absolute height of his powers, exuding an on-stage mania that makes early Jim Carrey seem sedate. And, ultimately, the quality of much of this footage offsets the film's failure to offer anything resembling a deep dive into his thought-processes or private life.

A journey through the life of Robin Williams that, somehow, conveys a certain superficiality. Despite its title, the film does not manage to introduce us into the comedian's mind, But rather to cast a look, as effective as it is hollow, towards the trajectory of an actor who, beyond his charisma, proved to have a privileged mind. It is incomplete in an ending that tiptoes through the degenerative disease he suffered.
This was fairly interesting. I think the main problem that the director had is that Williams himself isn't terribly interesting. In comparison with the recent doc on Gary Shandling this film comes up way short because there were so many layers to Shandling.

I miss Robin Williams. This is a great look into the wonderful career of the man who is always entertaining. I wish they would of explored more of his life closer to the end and his problems with addiction more. Still this will make you laugh and cry.
