For all the details and nuances that made the final episode of "Breaking Bad" so great and satisfying, the GOT finale was the exact opposite.

In the same way the Beatles are used as a "gold standard" for every rock act that has come after them, GOT will be the "Lead Standard" by which all disappointing season finales are measured.

(i.e. The final episode of (fill in the blank) was bad, but at least it wasn't as bad as the last episode of GOT.

Poorly filmed, audio that is either unintelligible, out of sync or completely unrelated to the visual and not a thread of a story. To call this a documentary is false advertising at the least and intentionally misleading at worst. One hour, twenty nine minutes and twenty two seconds of random scenes cut together with no discernible relationship to each other. If you don't know what the plot of this "documentary" is (supposed to be) before watching it, you'll have even less of an idea after you've seen it. There are no spoilers in this review because there is nothing to spoil. While yes, it does have actual footage of real people taking real drugs during the late 60s, in places that look to be London, there's no way you can call this cobbled together mess a documentary.

After watching this DVD my immediate reaction was, WHY. What possible point could there have been for making this film. I'm not sure who I should be more upset with, Michael Winterbottom or fools that invested money to get it made. Yes, there were a few good musical performances but certainly nothing worth wasting over an hours worth of your time for.

Aside from an almost total lack of story and annoying main characters the director somehow managed to make the explicit sex scenes void of eroticism. I mean even a porn director can keep your interest with sex, yet somehow Mr Winterbottom managed to ruin that.

Good job Michael.
