Director Garret Price's heartfelt documentary explores the extraordinary life and death of Anton Yelchin, the actor who died at age 27 when his Jeep Grand Cherokee—a model that had been recalled—crushed him against his front gate. The son of Soviet figure skaters who defected to the US, Yelchin began as a successful child actor before appearing in dozens of independent movies (including the excellent Green Room and Only Lovers Left Alive), and a few big-budget ones, too, like the rebooted Star Trek trilogy. Love, Antosha details Yelchin’s close relationship with his mother, his dabbling in music and photography, his fight against cystic fibrosis, and the lasting effect he had on friends like Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pine, and Kristen Stewart. It’s a gutting story, told in a sentimental manner that feels aimed at Yelchin’s inner circle as opposed to a broader audience. But this guy’s talent, curiosity, and enthusiasm were boundless, and through Love, Antosha’s interviews and archival footage, we feel like we get to know him a little bit, too. by Ned Lannamann
