the entire time as I am watching this I keep thinking about this review I read about this film that said that it makes zero sense that all of these songs are simply great on their own merit and that the time/history and publicity/marketing had nothing to do with the success of these songs/bands - and that's all I keep thinking about. If you were to play these songs to people with no prior experience of them, would they turn into instant bestsellers?
I think this film has heart and good acting but it's not really interrogating the premise on a deeper level.
