About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like true-story documentaries about cultural moments and the people who shaped them, similar to Gimme Danger or The Armstrong Lie; Not for you if you want a calm, low-key watch.
Pros: lively nightlife history; iconic New York era; behind-the-scenes access | Cons: narrow focus on club; heavy on nostalgia; limited broader context
