Bill W. was an excellently done documentary one of the twentieth century's influential figures. Luckily the filmmaker is not a member of Alcoholics Anonymous so there is a balance to the picture drawn of Bill Wilson that might very well not have been possible if he was in recovery. In this age of celebrity, it was intriguing to see a film that delineated so very well the price a normal human being pays for becoming a celebrity.
The camera work and art design was excellent in the film. This could have been a dry presentation of fact and the directors made this film so much more with inventive and flowing graphics and artwork.
All in all, I believe this film has appeal not only for alcohlics in recovery but for any person interested in people who shape our lives.
