About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intense, impressionistic music-doc experience built from archival performances and interviews, similar to The Velvet Underground; Not for you if you prefer a clear, fact-by-fact biography with a steady timeline.
Pros: immersive music-first experience; inspiring creative reflections; rich archival footage | Cons: disjointed and nonlinear; overly long runtime; thin career context
