This documentary is really, really awful! I'm a long time fan of the Foo Fighters and like many others, was devastated at the loss of Taylor Hawkins. The title of the film suggests an exploration of Taylor's life, legacy and the depth of his loss. No! Instead it's a cynical, money-grabbing, terribly edited mishmash of archival footage which, with the exception of a minute or two at the beginning and a minute or two at the very end, makes zero reference at all to the loss of Taylor. It gives no insight at all into how it effected his band mates, friends and loved ones. At best, it's a very amateurish and poorly constructed 'Foo Fighter's for Dummies' history but even then, it's rushed in some parts and drags agonisingly in others. The whole thing looks like it was thrown together in an afternoon by some kid late in submitting a school assignment. This so-called documentary should be avoided at all costs and the collective backers and production of this sham should hang their heads in shame.

Don't waste your time or money

This is the crappiest documentary. I wasted $4.99 and 44 minutes of my life. What's with all the filler footage of Kurt and Courtney, with the narrator just droning on? He reads on and on from an obvious script. I mean, make it sound believable! It's just a bunch of pictures, cheesy dramatizations. Not many actual dialogue and live interviews, and they're taken from other documentaries. It's not even about Taylor or his death! It's a history of FF, even with all that Nirvana crap. Blah blah. I'm not even listening to it. It's like the Peanuts' teacher voice. Total waste of money. It's like a cheesy YouTube video. Garbage.
