Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and the curious. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me or The Last Waltz. Soaked in 1970s atmosphere.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
