An intimate film about actor, writer, producer and comedian Eddie Izzard. BELIEVE documents Eddie Izzard s colorful and dramatic life and tells the story of his extraordinary trials and triumphs.

For years Eddie Izzard has entertained my family and I both in his comedic performances and his film performances but never before have we seen this side of Eddie.
I saw Believe for free through Eddie, he posted temporary link via his twitter page and I have seen it several times. Believe is a wonderful and heartfelt look at the life of Eddie Izzard and I thought it was truly amazing. I really came to understand how Eddie comes up with all the great material and how a comedian works on a tour. *SPOILER* Believe touches on themes that are familiar to everyone and tugs at your heart strings, near the end when Eddie is speaking about his mother and mentions how he believes everything he has done was in an attempt to get her to come back, it connected with me, and others, and made me think of my own loss and how true his statement was. One woman even said "you kept me laughing even when I was so scared" and then I realized how many lives he has touched.
I have never laughed so much and yet cried so much all in one documentary, this is a true testament to hard work and never giving up. I finished this film and I believed I really could do anything if I truly believed. Thank you Eddie for sharing your incredible life with us, you are a truly stand up guy.
I hope the dvd has some good bonus features and I will update the review when my pre-order arrives. See this film and share it.

This bio-doc is unlike so many others because Eddie is such an unusual and amazing person. The format was creative, if simplistic, but didn't deter from the message. Eddie's openness about his failures is striking - not glossed over, and not excused. He seems to find his stream of consciousness style of comedy almost by accident (the "Wolves" sketch is a gem!). Whether non-Eddie fans would find this DVD appealing is questionable, but Eddie fans will definitely appreciate it.

Eddie Izzard is one of my favorite performers (doesn't seem right to just pigeonhole him as a comedian) and "Believe" gives you a whole new insight into the man. It is funny, sad, touching and happy all at the same time. It is entertainingly done with great pictures, music and graphics.
This film is a true testament to Eddie's talent and drive.
I highly recommend this to anyone that likes Eddie Izzard and to anyone just looking for a really great documentary about a great, talented man.
