"....I don't particularly feel."

This belongs at the top of each and every one of those 'movies about loneliness' lists on this website.

BOWIE was a relentlessly and dangerously deep explorer of thought despite always being drawn to emotion. His whole life was to see himself from the perspective of a father figure so he could understand who he was. This struggle for multiple identities is, I think, the core of Bowie and is something this film acknowledges in spades! He's also an antidote to England but still for English people purely because of his obsession with 'escape' or 'fantasy' in his endless expression.
I genuinely cannot fault any of this film - ridiculously inspiring and adventurous.
Between this and 'Jane', Brett Morgen is such a remarkable, potent maker of documentaries.

I’ve seen similar music docs about artists I know better than Bowie and enjoyed them much more. As someone relatively unfamiliar with Bowie, I found this film nearly impenetrable narratively, and several of the things I do know about Bowie literally never came up. The movie is a whole vibe, I never got it.

A narrative of the single most self-reinventing artist told through their own words and art. If you're a Bowie fan or curious, this was great. If you're not, it's maybe an opportunity to understand the complicated person behind everything, but the lack of overall structure might be too much for some people. I loved it.
