This film is really only interesting for Rolling Stones fans and Media Studies students. It is fairly long and drawn out so if your watching it simply for viewing pleasure then your likely to get bored. The film is heavily mediated by the Maysles brothers and the Rolling Stones to make them look better, as if they had done nothing wrong and to show they could not have done anything to prevent the stabbing. This is were it gets interesting for Media Students. Its a corporisation of the genre and really only shows the hippie movement in a negative light. So its also fairly subjective in its views.
Watch it for a good example of how media can be used to change people views or to see the Rolling Stones 'in action' but you should take everything with a grain of salt. This is not to say however that the Rolling Stones are 'bad people' merely a band trying to clear its self of a negative name.
