It cannot be classified as a documentary movie as there are, maybe, 3 minutes of OLD interviews in a 2hr movie. As a concert, it was mostly Mick Jagger prancing around the stage rather than a Rolling Stones concert. Just because it was made by an Oscar winner doesn't make this film a winner too! Keith Richard said in the movie that neither he nor Ron Wood are good guitarists on their own, but together there are just like 10 good ones. This is exactly what Scorsese missed in this movie. The Rolling Stones are not just about Mick Jagger and reducing the rest to a supporting role. None of the Stones had a good solo career, but as a group they are second to none. Yet, Scorsese missed that point entirely!

This film is low budget and it definitely shows.It's bad and no words about its artistic merits will make it any better. I only heard one truth in the movie, when the Arab woman said that people should speak their enemy's language. There is no doubt that Arabic should be compulsory in Israeli school. (I was taught French instead). Furthermore, the Brazilian who is so praising this very bad move, Hanna Laslo's father (in the movie) hails from Berlin and therefore she is not a Russian_Israeli. Also, maybe I am mistaken , but I don't recall that Israeli tanks reached the Jordanian/Iraqi border during the 1967 war, so they could not have possibly destroyed the Oasis there. I consider myself left of centre when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict, but this movie certainly did not do anything for me in that regards.
