first we don't have to do a documentary about bowie in his last five years his 70,s and 80,s years were excited they should do a documentary about that should be cool how he started his career the wild of drugs,alcohol of 70's the england movement of 60,s and 70,s could be interesting for me but this film is boring sorry sorry telling the truth.
Being born in 1960 I had the privilege of listening to David Bowie and watching his TV and movie performances for most of my life. This documentary really shows his ability and love of his craft right to the unfortunate end. I hope many people can take from this who suffer in any way what true strength and heart can do. I hope even though he's gone that the current and coming generations will appreciate his pure talent was and I believe this film shows just that. Bravo Tony Visconti, Carlos Alamar and others who knew him for your support and help through his career and your presence in this documentary. Having those only who actually knew him and not others who can only comment on his talent was a relief. Of all the documentaries I've watched through the years about someone famous this is the only one I give 10/10.
It doesn't disappoint. The documentary does give new insight into David Jones, the person. A small, and possibly final piece to the unfinished puzzle of an extraordinarily talented, charismatic, highly influential and complex artist.
It's not a celebration of his life or the story of his career. They've been done elsewhere.
It leaves the viewer sadly and keenly aware that s/he will never have had enough of David Bowie.
This captures a great artist writing the final verses of his song.
He shows us who is was is who he is.
Proof of sick wisdom.

But all in all it was a good little documentary. The first few minutes made me cry as well as the last few with Tony Viscounti. When he isolates David voice and you hear his breath...I lost it. I was born in the 70's so I didn't get to experience David in his early years so this was nice. He is and will remain my #1.
