With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who'll be humming afterwards and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to The Last Waltz or Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 59 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
The personal life and professional career of music superstar Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, universally known as Sting, who became passionate about music at a very early age and founded the trio The Police in 1977 with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers, achieving an immediate success.
