About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like rock documentaries with candid stories, career highs and lows, and plenty of performance footage, especially if One More Time with Feeling appeals to you; Not for you if you want a tighter, less album-focused watch.
Pros: engaging band history; honest personal conflicts; strong live footage | Cons: late stretch drags; feels promotional at times; ending feels dated
