90An excellent example of its genre, with Pennebaker capturing the excitement of what was a very special, emotion-charged occasion.

80Captures David Bowie's meticulous identity quest with all the frenetic energy (read: slop) of a wildlife documentary on drugs.
-
For the first time in 30 years, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars appear on the movie screen as Pennebaker intended. It's almost worth the wait.
