Love, Antosha

The film reveals Yelchin's struggle with cystic fibrosis, which his parents told him about when he was 17 and he hid from close friends, colleagues, and the public. The film further shows Yelchin's passion for his artistic pursuits and close relationship with his parents. Nicolas Cage stars as the narrator of the film, reading Anton's various writings.[4]

Jon Voight, Yelchin's co-star from the 2015 short film Court of Conscience, initially suggested to Yelchin's parents to create a documentary. They first reached out to Drake Doremus, who had directed Yelchin in Like Crazy, but Doremus felt he was too close to Yelchin to direct a film and suggested Garret Price.[5][6]

Andrew Barker of Variety wrote that the film was "a touching and surprising portrait of an actor who had much more going on in his life — from a serious illness to some seriously left-field artistic inclinations — than was mentioned in his obituaries.”[9]
