![]() Some GBC members are interviewed briefly for color, remarking on their time living together on Skid Row or refuting the bizarre conspiracy theory that various members had something to do with Peep’s death, but their presence in his life is framed in the documentary as largely negative. The documentary establishes that there were tensions between his collective Gothboiclique and First Access as they focused on building up Peep, but we hear about it mainly from the perspective of Sarah Stennet and Peep's manager Chase Ortega. He was blowing up, relocating to London-away from most of his friends and collaborators in LA-and dealing with the questions that bubble up in a budding music career (how much creative control do you have? How much of your life is “yours” when it’s being bankrolled by someone else?). The artist born Gustav Åhr died during a transitional phase, not even two years into his career. Now, we’re left with a documentary that sets up one thing and a lawsuit that alleges another. First Access has since denied these allegations, but the suit certainly casts things in a different light. This is all made more complicated by the fact that last month Womack filed a lawsuit against First Access Entertainment for negligence, breach of contract, and wrongful death, among other charges. ![]() Blame games are understandable in a situation when someone’s death probably could have been avoided, but it’s debatable how much they matter to a documentary whose concluding point can only be that the whole thing is deeply sad. As a son, star, and an investment, Lil Peep had a lot riding on him when he died, and that becomes increasingly apparent throughout the documentary, which starts off as an act of remembrance but gives way to finger-pointing in terms of who’s responsible for his death. Co-directed by Sebastian Jones and Ramez Silyan, and executive produced by Terrance Malick, Liza Womack (Peep’s mother) and Sarah Stennet (CEO of First Access Entertainment, Peep's management company), Everybody’s Everything is a fitting title.
