With a running time of one hour, "My Life" probably should have just been a special feature on the "Only God Forgives" DVD.

Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

Suggests the sacrifices required of those who live in an artist's orbit, but it fails to offer what groupies surely want, which is insight into Refn's creative process.

Corfixen documents her husband's creative process as well as his mental state, which comes in two basic modes: confidently inspired and nervously despondent.

Katie Rife, AV Club
Rotten

Writer-director Liv Corfixen works harder to coddle Drive director Refn, her husband and subject, than she does to get inside his head.
