With sales of around 35 million records, and 24 albums with six different line-ups, the global success of this man ahead of his time is undeniable. In the UK, he is perhaps more than just a star; he’s a public persona. And his vertiginous career tells an intimate and intense story of his relationship with his home country over the past 25 years.

Reviews
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
