Crossfire Hurricane

The ultimate Rolling Stones documentary. Captures very vividly their live performances through the years, as well as what making an album was like, plus their private lives.

This is a nice documentary but way to short. After all this is about a band that has been making music and performing for 50 years.

The film's very good in representing the bands early and mid term journey with all it's successes, failures, drugs, drink etc with candid interviews and good musical snippets. The footage is great but my biggest disappointment with the film is that basically very little is mentioned of the bands musical output post Let It Bleed.

Half a century of the Rolling Stones gets the full treatment in Brett Morgan's "Crossfire Hurricane". The documentary actually focuses more on the group's first decade, as they developed a reputation as the anti-Beatles, went through some drug busts, and even fled England to avoid the taxes.

I am a huge Stones fan. I thought this documentary was amazing from beginning to end.

Most excellent rock documentary. Almost all the criticism seems to be about the Stones keeping their commentary off-camera and how it basically ends around 1981, with only brief snippets of concert footage and whatnot from the next 30 years or so.

This is an abbreviated history of The Rolling Stones in 2 hours. Certainly that's not enough to go into much depth.

It is high time for a look back on an illustrious career that has famously had more than its fair share of sex, drugs and rock n' roll. However, those looking for a Beatles Anthology-esque examination will be disappointed.

This movie is a lot of archived shots of the Stones from (I think, not an expert) about '64 to '72, often overlaid with commentary by the Stones themselves recorded in 2012, with a bunch of unnecessary directorial flourish added on. I'm a big fan of the Stones, but I'm not a super fan, and I was born after the events covered in the film.
