Was Syd just another drug casualty? Did he suffer from an undiagnosed mental condition? Or did he dislike the attention and fame as the fun turned to work? While there are no clear answers, there is the feeling by all those around Syd that something went terribly wrong. Have You Got it Yet? is a chronicle and a mosaic of Barrett's creative and destructive impulses, his captivating presence and absence -- a portrait of the complex puzzle that was his life.

      Raygun S A wonderfully moving and emotionally draining movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/23 Full Review Stephanie H The film is a bittersweet homage to a highly unique, creative young man who gave his all to his art and the pursuit of it. I enjoyed the interviews of those who were fortunate to have known him personally. You can tell the directors took great care to tell his story with accuracy and respect; it didn't sensationalize his downfall, but rather highlighted his importance to the Floyd, rock music, and to all who loved him. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Mark F A deeply immersive journey into the enigmatic life and times of the Pink Floyd front man Syd Barrett. The editing of archival footage and the Pink Floyd catalog as well as interviews with Gilmour, Waters and Mason delivers a kaleidoscopic insight into the psychedelic counterculture that Barrett led. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Tom O Some mysteries cannot be solved. We're left with questions & wonder. Why Syd Barrett turned his back on creating music before he was 25 has puzzled & saddened fans for decades. In this fantastic new doc, family, bandmates, friends & former lovers all address Roger "Syd" Barrett & the impact he had upon their lives—in their memories, Barrett's life gains more dimensions, and depth, and a more complex portrait of a complex person emerges. A Rashomon-esque portrait of a subject seen thru subjective memories. It really drew me in—and has stuck with me several weeks after I first caught it. Added bonus is the footage & soundtrack; the trippy, dreamy interludes in the doc also harken back to the Hipgnosis art direction that was a crucial part of Floyd's charm. See it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Brett M Really earnest and well done documentary involving the people who knew Syd Barrett well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review gregory s incredibly moving and well-constructed. a complete success and a complete joy!

      Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Roddy Bogawa and Storm Thorgerson must rely on archive footage, music, and extensive interviews with just about everyone whose lives and careers intersected with Barrett, all given chronological structure by Jason Isaacs' narration. Rated: 3/5 Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Jem Aswad Variety The story is familiar, but it’s never been told in such detail. Jul 14, 2023 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times It’s as comprehensive and coherent an account of Barrett’s counterculture tragedy as one could hope for. Jul 13, 2023 Full Review June Butler Film Ireland Magazine Have You Got It Yet? has moments of greatness but equal levels of haphazard storytelling -- in parts Thorgerson delves deep (or rather deepish), while in others, the narration appears to be cobbled together. Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Roddy Bogawa and Storm Thorgerson’s documentary doesn’t reveal much that wasn’t previously known about this elusive yet much-discussed figure. But it does have a lot of fascinating archival footage, as well as a starry array of interviewees... Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix It's a fitting biography of Syd Barrett, with an impressive array of exclusive interviews with his associates. Some viewers might be surprised that many people interviewed for this documentary (including co-director Storm Thorgerson) died years ago. Jul 30, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
