Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I've listened to Steve Aoki's music for 6 years now and always been fascinated by his work. I didn't know much about him personally beside the one fact about his father's connection to Benihana. This was a great film to watch as I feel more connected to the artist himself and that he's a human being like everyone else. I understand him a lot more and I think the director and the crew did a great job at communicating that. It's worth watching to get to know one of the biggest names in the EDM/music industry. The man is a robot also, can't be human after watching this!

I thought this movie was pretty decent, but the most intriguing parts were all about his father, Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki. Someone needs to get a documentary going about that man. One of the most interesting men i've never heard about. He seems to have led a very crazy, adventurous life. Part of this documentary seems to be about Steve Aoki chasing the demons of his fathers high expectations.FYI, i don't know much about this music genre or the whole scene, so it might be more appealing for others. I just wanted to watch it to understand why tens of thousands of people are drawn to these venues. Still a bit confused by it all, though.

I'll Sleep When I'M Dead shows the almost unknown personal life of the intense and vibrating EDM master Steve Aoki. Going through his childhood and family roots to his relationship with his father and also showing how come he would get to set his influence as a music producer and how he got to carved his way into producing a bunch of new alternative popular bands in the DIY LA music scene.Even though most of the documentaries portraying people from entertainment industry and show business in a general way tends to be and to show people in a somewhat pretentious way of living and acting, this is not the case in this great piece of work by Netflix. Steve was quite well represented in a original and real way that made the documentary a must-see to people that want to learn and to comprehend how the EDM scene works on backstage and how did Steve personal life was directly affected from the friends he end up making in the EDM scene and turning him into a major influence in the electronic music.Definitely it is worth watching.

This documentary film tells the struggles of Steve Aoki to get to the world of fame in the DJ world. It details his super busy work schedule, his spectacular shows, his family and his professional life."I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" is incredibly personal and unbelievably detailed. Steve Aoki talks about his childhood, young adult years and his life after his success. It features numerous interviews with his mother, his siblings, his friends, his girlfriend and even footage of Steve Aoki with the governor of LA. That is really impressive. I have the feeling as if I know Steve way more, even at a personal level, despite not having met him. This documentary is not like other documentaries, which presents you with a public persona. It really shows Steve Aoki's life, it is like his detailed authorised biography. it is definitely worth a watch.
