| PopMattersJ.C. Maçek IIIThe film itself still holds up very well as an informative documentary on the life of Barrett for knowledgeable fans and the completely uninitiated alike. |
| User Reviewtyler bA nicely put together documentary about my favorite Pink Floyd member. |
| User ReviewDudeIf you like Pink Floyd, and are curious about the Syd Barrett days, check this out. |
| User ReviewMichael GVery interesting look at the beginnings of one of the greatest bands of all time, in particular Syd Barretts impact on things. |
| User ReviewBrendan SGood video footage, good insights into his "breakdown", and excellent interviews with all of the PF crew. |
| User ReviewMark CA little brief, but overall worth your time. |
| User ReviewMorpheus OIf only more musicians lost there mind on acid... |
| User ReviewMartin IA decent talking-heads documentary, that is more TV doc than a film. It's interesting for fans and non Floyd fans alike as we discover backstage issue about the band and it's ever changing line-up. It's not drawn out, and people involved don;t dwell on any particular issues. This makes it so it;s not boring, but there's no key sequence to build to - no key person that is left to the end to talk to. It doesn't break any new ground, and as a film and documentary it is pretty average. However, it is informative and entertaining in parts and is worth checking out. |
| User ReviewTed Csome good old movies here, some good interviews, but I didn't like it at all. they were trying to show Syd as some weak drug addict that was too rotten to play in Pink Floyd. it isn't fare. |
