dave d @RT34924333 Mar 11, 2021 Billy P. or 'Billy the Kid' just may be the most genuine person ever put to film.  While it's never discussed in this 2007 documentary, it appears Billy is autistic in some way.  Whatever the condition he is sweet, hopeful, and honest.  He cares and the more we see him, the more the viewer will realize that part of us wants to be Billy.  Innocence combined with optimism is a fantastic combo.  Final Score: 8/10 See more

Jun 18, 2011 Very honest documentary film which I enjoyed watching. Be sure to watch the bonus materials on the DVD to learn about the backstory to this film. See more

Apr 2, 2011 I needed a shot of tequila after watching this movie. It is incredible, but if you can sit through it without being as uncomfortable as you've ever been in your life, you're a stronger person than I am. WATCH HIS EYES. I don't think I've ever seen such an up-front kid, unafraid to express what's really going on inside himself. Only in the bonus materials do we learn what's "wrong" with him. Although, I'd argue there's nothing at all wrong with him. If more kids were like him, high school would not be such a cluster f--k experience. I hope there's a follow up, so we can see how Billy grows up. See more
