Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever Ratings & Reviews
S Johnson

Just dumb and weird.

The guy creeps me out a bit but it is thought provoking !
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An uncritical mad scientist doc.
Christianity Today
Kara Bettis Carvalho
While stewardship is one thing, complete control is another. Johnson's experiment is the pinnacle -- or maybe the Frankenstein's monster -- of a society obsessed with autonomy and personal agency.
Newsday
Robert Levin
The movie never connects Johnson's bizarre lifestyle to any sort of larger, meaningful idea.
People's World
Chauncey K. Robinson
It would be easy to dismiss the doc as a cash grab indulging society's desire to gawk the eccentric. Yet, the sensationalized, ridiculous, and-interestingly enough-sometimes touching film inadvertently lends itself to a more significant conversation.
Pajiba
Kayleigh Donaldson
Don't Die is fascinating as a piece of failed propaganda. No matter what Johnson does or how hard he works to sell what he's doing as some act of biological disruption, he can't conceal the sheer sadness... over what his life was and has become.
Decider
John Serba
The internet's first-pass stone-throwing at Johnson justifies Don't Die's existence, and it's a perfectly entertaining second pass on a semi-famous eccentric who's doing something that's either revolutionary or ridiculous. Fascinating story either way.
We're Watching What?!
Dana Han-Klein
While the structure of the documentary itself is middling to serviceable, the subject himself is morbidly fascinating and unfortunately utterly watchable.
AV Club
Brent Simon
Despite this committed avoidance of a heavier thematic lift, Don't Die: The Man Who Wants To Live Forever still works quite fine as a slice of diverting entertainment.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Faced with the problem of humanizing a man who aspires to cheat a fundamental aspect of human existence, Smith settles for a banal father-son arc.
The SS Ben Hecht
Stephen Silver
A compelling portrait of this guy, which never gets judgmental, but also provides a fair look at him.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Equal parts inspirational science lesson, probing personal portrait, infomercial, and lifestyle of the rich and messianic, the movie portrays Johnson as a relatable, probably decent and maybe even heroic guy.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Includes enough critical voices and material to complicate Johnson's view about his actions and ethos-in the process undercutting the material's superficial optimism.
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
The film raises questions about our assumptions [of Johnson] that are provocative and worthwhile.
LeisureByte.com
Archi Sengupta
Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever has an interesting and engaging premise that will leave viewers hooked.
Paste Magazine
Jim Vorel
It begs existential introspection on why we even have these bodies in the first place: Is it the body's job to facilitate the life you choose to lead, or is the purpose of your life to service the body?
