From new fans, to old fans, everyone will love this documentary. i wish it could have been hours longer! if you have a deep love for Ozzy i suggest some tissues as well, it has its very real and emotional moments to it. quite odd how close you can feel to someone without knowing them, and that, is another reason why ozzy and his legacy will stand forever.🖤 10/10

A brilliant, shocking but truthful bio of my childhood hero, any Ozzy fan must watch any Ozzy sceptic must watch, it will change you.

Rock star Ozzy Osbourne has certainly lived an interesting life. Born in Birmingham, he's the man who bit the head off a live bat on stage, and latterly the star of a massively popular reality TV show. You could say he's the closest thing to 'Spinal Tap' in the real world. A documentary about him could hardly be dull, and this one isn't, but it's not that insightful either. Why did Ozzy become an addict? How did his music relate to that of his peers? What actually induced him to make a reality TV programme? You don't really get a feeling for any of the answers, instead he comes across almost like the old man in the pub, claiming extraordinary stories ("yeah, I did that!") that no-one quite believes. The overall effect is of a highlights (and lowlights) package of his life; but a more critical evaluation might have been more interesting.

It's very cursory look at the early years.. then a LOT of focus on current storylines.

For a "biography" it's EXCEPTIONALLY lacking.

Where are his first 2 children from the first wife?? Why the divorce? How'd Sabbath get a deal? So may missing bits just to tell the story the publicist wants told in 2020. It's CLEARLY spin and just skips some things to keep the overall impression as good.

Sure the entire cause of any abuse or mistrust was alcohol and drugs... couldn't have anything to do with Ozzy be just an unkind person at heart.. and truth being exposed through substances.

Meh... it's marketing spin.. nothing more.

OZZY, the best ever. No more needs to be said...except it says review is to short
