Ignore the Bad Reviews

Usually fake reviews give movies a 10. This time there are a bunch of haters giving this a 1.

Not sure why, unless they are just fake. This is a top notch, rather sentimental, documentary that explores Bowie as he was dying.

It also shows his transition into a rather decent person.

For those who wanted more Bowie -- how much more? He was in EVERY scene!!!!

And remember, haters, this is not a biography of the guy. It's a doumentary on the last 5 years of this life. It's poignant and relevant ands really well done. I generally get bored out of my mind 20 minutes into one of these kind of films. This one captured my attention throughout.
