Francis Whately's documentary transcends biography, offering a privileged seat inside Bowie's creative laboratory. It captures the fierce, focused energy of an artist composing his own magnificent epitaph.
What lingers after the final frame is not sadness, but awe at the clarity and courage of Bowie's final act. He engineered his exit with the same visionary precision that defined his career. — MovieFinder Editorial
