Variety

Frank, a wildly impressionistic filmmaker, shows a flair for taking the most lackadaisical of encounters and crafting them into something pungent and revealing.

There are also some well composed and shot concert sequences, but what the film does best is present a picture of the mini-society that attached itself to the group at its peak. A pretty dismal society it is, too.

Nonfans will be bored stiff, and even true believers may find the last half hour interminable, but the film's real distinction may be its willingness to be dull.

The thing that makes this documentary special is not the sensational sex, drugs and rock and roll footage, but the shots of the band in the downtime between concerts.

Rated: 4/5

"Cocksucker Blues" is interesting from a time capsule point of view, but doesn't hold up as much of a movie.

Rated: C-

This is the sort of footage you think is cool and cutting edge when you're high and then you watch it later and you're like "idk man its just like a shot of the ceiling fan and somebody scratching his balls for two hours."

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Watched it at the MFAH in Houston. It's just a typical band tour video footage movie. Nothing special. But the fact that seeing it put me in a small group of people who ever have seen it on the big screen was worth the price of admission.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

É interessante espreitar o caos de droga e sexo associado a uma digressão dos Rolling Stones em 1972, mas um filme que me fez adormecer duas vezes deve estar a querer dizer-me qualquer coisa.

It's rather dull watching skanky hippies smack up with their tits out. Worth seeing only if you're a Stones fan really, and only then just about.

There are a few transcendent moments of sound and image within this cinema verite stew of hotel room conversations which forms the backdrop to the Rolling Stones' 1972 tour of the US. Yes, there are sex and drugs and a general decadent vibe (who thought it was a good idea to keep the cameras running?) but no narrative thread appears and we never get close enough to anyone to begin to identify. A few live numbers spruce things up, but everyone seems to be marking time between them.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
