Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The background music, although awesome, was way to loud and at times drowned out the commentary. Can't say I learned anything new in this documentary from other Floyd documentaries but still interesting nonetheless. I did enjoy the time spent on the earlier days that many docs seem to glass over.
