A great improvement over ‘Moonage Daydream,’ in part because it’s rather less moon-eyed, instead presenting its points linearly (and mostly sequentially) and without attempting to refashion them to fit a pre- (and ill-) conceived narrative.
Probably should note that I was not a fan of the ‘Lazarus’ stage/film project and this did nothing to change that, but otherwise the songs are still good, the interviews with various collaborators are interesting, the Bowie clips are well chosen, but it’s still a sad ending and the abrupt cut off of the expected guitar riff at the very end of the film is extraordinarily effective.
