Finally, a real documentary!
This is an unusually straightforward look at the brief history of the Sex Pistols, and a refreshing change of pace from the disappointing "The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle". Finally, Sex Pistols fans can learn what happened, rather than being subjected to Malcolm McLaren's absurd farce and narcissistic mockumentary.Somehow, though, after watching this, I felt that something was missing, possibly because they don't explore the music enough. It feels as though they made a documentary about Band X-- it feels generic, and lacks the sharp edge that made the Sex Pistols brilliant.In spite of that feeling, I can still recommend it any any Pistols fan.
