Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Alison Ellwood, who is best known for producing and editing several Alex Gibney documentaries over the last decade, takes on a relatively undemanding task for her first solo feature directing effort (she co-directed Magic Trip with Gibney), molding a standard fare portrait of the popular Californian rock outfit that will nevertheless be an entertaining curio for fans and newbies alike.
It has to be said that several critics at my screening – myself included – immediately began to debate following its conclusion whether the “Part One” addendum of the film’s title was a facetious adornment or a serious advertisement for more to come, given that the majority of the Eagles’ story appears to have been told in this neat, briskly-moving 2-hour documentary. As it turns out, Part Two is in fact on the way, but will largely chart the band’s influence and success post-breakup.
