bowie?
In simple terms, this is only for the die hards.
I was expecting a documentary, but what i watched is far from that. It's just a 2hr tribute essentially. I enjoyed the cinematography and editing style, but with no prior engagement with anything to do with bowie, i had a hard time staying interested.
The pointless snippets of inspirational quotes from interviews is weird, and i wish there had been more of a story to this film, for example telling us more about his upbringing, or even a timeline.
There are some things i do like, though. The editing is great and fits his discography well, and i like the concert clips.
Overall, i didn't like it, but it's just not for me. My bowie obsessed friend, though, absolutely loved it. So i guess take that into perspective that this is an opinionated movie.
