All I Can Say is a 2019 documentary film about Blind Melon singer Shannon Hoon, consisting largely of footage he shot on his camcorder during the last five years of his life, from 1990 to 1995.
The film (whose title comes from the opening lyric of the song "No Rain") is set mostly in chronological order and filmed on Hoon's handheld video recorder, including the earliest footage of Blind Melon's formation in 1990 in Los Angeles, California, Hoon sitting in on Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion recording sessions, his relationship with his family and bandmates, the whirlwind success of the hit song "No Rain", and all the way up to (and including) the day he died on October 21, 1995, while on tour in support of Blind Melon's sophomore album, Soup.
[3] For Variety, Andrew Barker wrote, "At one point, Hoon is asked how he keeps from getting lost in the whirlwind of stardom that has taken over his life, and he replies that this is the very reason he’s always walking around with a video camera: capturing enough of the mayhem so that he can try to make sense of it later on, when things finally calm down.
"[5] For Alternative Nation, Greg Prato wrote, "Thanks to Clinch, Gould, and Hennessy, we now have a fascinating glimpse into the tragically short life of one of the most captivating rock singers/performers of the era (and beyond) – Shannon Hoon.
"[6] For BraveWords, Aaron Small gave it an 8 rating out of 10, and wrote, "Impactful, intriguing, intimate, and honest, All I Can Say is an insider’s less than glamorous look at essentially immediate, and short-lived success.
