- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at music lovers and people who love a true story told well. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved The Last Waltz or Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised), start here. Soaked in 1970s atmosphere.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
