Far too many talking heads and only very smal clips of his comedy genius/his interviews, the more general ones, another "comedian" who is a black female, is clearly using the opportunity to talk about Richard Prior, to promote herself. And as with many talking heads, they are just "admirers", using the "documentary as a potential vehicle for their own careers. Also how on earth can the Diana Ross/Motown bipic ogf Billie Hoilday, "Lady Sings the Blues", be called a blaxplotation film?

Paul Dano should have got an Oscar. He looked exactly like Brian. Fantastic film; great insight into the making of Pet Sounds. And the recreation of Surf's Up, performed in the Inside the Rock Revolution TV documentary, I was glad to see included. John Cusack also brilliant acting. The scenes with Eugene Landy were devastating.

Excellent film showing Fidel Castro's Cuba cares for it's citizens more than any US Government does.

Brilliant. Saw it in a packed English cinema. Just watched it again 20 years later, near to the anniversary. It was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Northampton, England Actor, Matt Smith was brilliant as Manson, as was the actress who played Lynne "Squeeky" Fromme. And the actress who played Patricia Krenwinkle.

I enjoyed the first Rise of The Footsoldier in 2007, but this was extremely boring.

I loved this film. Brilliant characters, that are completely relatable. Realistic story with heartfelt scenes of despair and solidarity. Emotional.
