Brett Morgen's Crossfire Hurricane and Cobain: Montage of Heck bent the rules of the rock documentary, but his David Bowie film, Moonage Daydream, smashes them to pieces.

If there’s a message at all in Moonage Daydream, it is secondary to the experiential nature of the movie. That’s hardly a knock. One goes to a concert to be thrilled, not necessarily to gather life lessons.

...a thoughtful, meditative, almost trance-inducing rumination on the meaning of art and life.

One leaves Moonage Daydream with their eyes and ears bursting with excitement. It’s not your typical documentary, and the lesssaid about the movie, the better.

Rated: A+

It is a journey that forces you to get on its wavelength, if you dare. But once you do, it is a powerful, emotional, beautiful experience that oozes Bowie and everything that he was. Stunning.

It's a fascinating look at a cultural icon, not as a biopic but more as an experience. It did start feeling long at the two-hour mark. Stay to the end of the credits. There's a small surprise.

Loved it. Saw facets of Bowie's art that are less known. He was an extraordinarily expressive dancer!

Not the typical documentary biopic. A true Bowie experience for two hours, a must-watch for every fan.

Nicely weaved story. Really enjoyed old footage along with the great snippets of live music. Also loved seeing the bit from Elephant Man which I was fortunate to see in NYC back in the late 70s. Suspect old and new fans will enjoy it. New fans will also have the opportunity to learn a bit about one of most talented artists in Rock music history.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
