I used to pick up Vice magazine at my local record store as a teen, so was interested in finding out more about their rise and fall. Sadly, this doc is a mess. It jokes about it not being a dense heavy-hitting documentary early on, but…that would have been way better. This is the most annoying people you know complaining about the most annoying people you know whilst revelling in how punk and cool they were, and secretly wish they still were. Simon Ostrovsky is still great though.
