Best known for their megahit '80s anthem "Don't You (Forget About Me)"--made famous in John Hughes' The Breakfast Club--Simple Minds is one of the most iconic and influential Scottish bands in history. From working-class kids growing up in post-industrial Glasgow to rock stars playing Live Aid, this is the unlikely story of an extraordinary band that continues touring to this day.

Both Kerr and Burchill come across as unpretentious, down to earth and likable.

For those whose entry point to the bad was their Breakfast Club anthem, the documentary will certainly fill in their origin story and trigger a few ‘oh that’s their song’ moments.

Simple Minds’ authorized documentary is a one-sided, toothless retelling of the band’s saga that feels like a nostalgic cash grab to bolster ticket sales for their current tour.

4/5

Kerr and Burchill, still great pals, return to Glasgow throughout the film, emphasising the importance of the city on their development, particularly how it gave focus to their own monumental ambition.
