How to watch emotional Val Kilmer documentary - where can you stream it?
The documentary offers fans a glimpse into the star's four-decade career through personal interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
Following the tragic news of Val Kilmer’s death at the age of 65, fans may be looking to revisit his documentary Val, which brings his life story to the screen.
The actor enjoyed a wide-ranging stage and screen career, and was best known for his performances in blockbuster movies like Batman Forever, Tombstone, Heat and Top Gun.
Val, which was produced by A24 and released by Amazon Studios back in 2021, offers fans a glimpse into the star's four-decade career through personal interviews, as well as behind-the-scenes footage that Kilmer recorded over the years.
The critically acclaimed film also explores the star’s health and diagnosis with throat cancer in 2014, which slowed down his acting career considerably.
“At least once a day for years I looked around and got this bittersweet feeling that there are a thousand reasons that this project could’ve been shipwrecked,” Kilmer said in a statement back in 2021.
“I mean, what could a film look like of a man filming himself, sometimes daily, years at a time? It is unimaginable that this movie actually could’ve ever come to light without the partnership of my dear friends, Leo [Scott] and Ting [Poo], and my producing partners.”
