If I were a big David Bowie fan, this Bowie doc would be the film of the year — a decadent swirl of every flavor of Hark ice cream. Alas, despite prepping 51 Bowie songs beforehand, his style still isn’t for me, the musical equivalent of the “Restless” episode of Buffy. And yet…the depth and imagination of director Brett Morgen and Bowie himself is off the charts. Scene after scene, I found myself questioning art, people, loneliness, connectedness, and the universe. The film fit life itself. It was exhausting, overwhelming, eye-opening — an experience well worth having.
Grade: A+
