It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This "documentary"--I don't like using the word when talking about this film--is like a box of chocolates: there are delicious ones (live performances), and foul-tasting ones (those awful interviews with smug TV presenters). I looked at the booklet and whenever we were about to see Russell Harty or another one of his ilk I used the track skip button on my remote. I subtracted two stars for the interviews, thus 8/10.
The performances are glorious. I've never heard Entwhistle's bass sound so vibrant, and Moon is playing the hell out of the drums--great sound. Won't Get Fooled Again is my favourite song, it's given a great rendition here. Townshend is often inspired, Daltrey's in good voice. What a treat.

I became a Who fan after seeing this movie in the theater. I was 10 and went with my best friend and his mom. After that day, my bedroom wall had only Who posters on it(Oh, and I think Farrah and Cheryl Tiegs.) I went and bought the soundtrack and played those records till my parents could not take it anymore. This is by far, one of the best rock bands ever. You've got the Beatles, Stones, Doors, Aerosmith, but thank god, we had THE WHO. Remastered new 2 disc DVD is by far the best I've seen. So much time and effort went into making this classic piece of history look great. The special features are a detailed documentary on how it all came together. Plus a very insightful, if not sad interview with lead singer Roger Daltrey. Kudos to all those involved. Check it out.

You´re a WHO fan! This is the way it´s done. No "boohoohoo I´m a sad rock star" poses, no "ALL is great ALL the time!" but an honest portrait of the best rock and roll band in the world. Who? Who! Despite Moon´s death prior to the films release there is no down feelings throughout this lovely piece of rock history. This is The Who as we loved - and loved them. In your face and knowing it. No excuses are made. The Who knows they´re rock n roll heroes. But they also know that they´re a miserable bunch of old farts and addicts as well. Maybe that´s why they´re still so great. They made every mistake in the book but still had the hearts to admit it. And of course they won us over by being the terrible, horrible, wonderful, full on WHO!

I've always loved The Who, even when I was seven or eight years old. My brother, three years older, and I used to sing along in the back seat to Who Are You. We didn't particularly like that song compared with others like Won't Get Fooled Again, Happy Jack and Baba O'Reilly, but that was one of the surprises of the movie when I saw it again and again on IFC. The version of Who Are You from that movie was awesome in its power, especially when Keith slams down on his drums (du-DUH) after the guitar thrash and looks into the camera with a crazed looked. I love tha power. The first CD I ever bought (and still have) was from that soundtrack, but that song was absent.A Quick One on the Rolling Stone's Rock and Roll Circus was great, as it always has been. I loved seeing a drugged out Brian Jones? introduce them, and I couldn't help but notice how condescending the Stones were to a group who was so much more talented. I like the Rolling Stones, at least the pre-1978 version, but live shows between the two were a mismatch.And the Holiday Inn with the sign "In case of Keith Moon, break glass." was great.
