Brett Morgen's Crossfire Hurricane and Cobain: Montage of Heck bent the rules of the rock documentary, but his David Bowie film, Moonage Daydream, smashes them to pieces.

If there’s a message at all in Moonage Daydream, it is secondary to the experiential nature of the movie. That’s hardly a knock. One goes to a concert to be thrilled, not necessarily to gather life lessons.

...a thoughtful, meditative, almost trance-inducing rumination on the meaning of art and life.

[Moonage Daydream] embraces the mysteries that its central figure spent a lifetime pursuing–and over the course of nearly two-and-a-half hours, attempts to find a closer relationship with this iconic figure through its immersion in cinematic chaos.

One leaves Moonage Daydream with their eyes and ears bursting with excitement. It’s not your typical documentary, and the lesssaid about the movie, the better.

It's a fascinating look at a cultural icon, not as a biopic but more as an experience. It did start feeling long at the two-hour mark. Stay to the end of the credits. There's a small surprise.

Loved it. Saw facets of Bowie's art that are less known. He was an extraordinarily expressive dancer!

Not the typical documentary biopic. A true Bowie experience for two hours, a must-watch for every fan.
