About
If you enjoy music documentaries and backstage stories about big productions, this is an easy watch, especially if you liked Lemmy or Punk; Not for you if you want a critical, conflict-heavy look.
Pros: lively behind-the-scenes access; strong interview mix; plenty of performance footage | Cons: mostly positive perspective; few real setbacks shown; some talking heads overstay
