  Fair
  
  It was probably a good portrayal of events at the time - horrible lifestyle and so sad. Quite disconcerting.

  Stoned - Brilliant movie
  
  I loved all the 70s style clothing, the music, the moroccan memories and the reminder of when to end parties. A good story about a very influencial man.

  Rambling film, disjointed scenes. Bit like watching a long episode of Eastenders.
