**Well done biopic about a band in crisis. Even better when one considers that this was originally intended to be an album documentary.**

I remember watching this when it came out and hating it. Now we’re all a lot older and wiser, and also I’m a therapist. This was pretty interesting, but could have used some edits. (Looking at you, Lars.) Album still sucks, though.

I love documentaries; I love bio-pics. I especially love bio-pic documentaries about musicians and/or bands.
