While nothing in your life may come as easily to you as everything in Coldplay’s lives seems to have come to them, this delightful and unexpectedly inspiring documentary has a funny way of making your dreams seem closer than they might appear.

While his bandmates are happy to fade into the background, Martin – part puppy dog, part jack-in-the-box – is a magnet for the camera. He’s restless, funny, insecure and likeable – often all at the same time.

Mat Whitecross draws compelling lines between Coldplay’s past and present in a documentary as colourful and optimistic as its namesake album. It’s one for the fans — even the ones too reluctant to admit that they are.

This is a watchable, if blandly celebratory and unchallenging portrait of a massive rock institution.

so many Coldplay hater around here. It's about Coldplay's 20 years of career. If you're Coldplay fan, then don't watch. If you like listen to Coldplay, you should watch this film. This film about How did they start band, write masterpiece albums like Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to The Head. Some of their highlight and bad events are included on this film.
