Maybe I shouldn't have rated this


I just watched this, and sorry to say, I gave it a fairly low rating, but I'm a bit bothered about having done that.

I have a few Neil Young albums, and do like his music, which was well done here, and some great sets/performances etc. So why the low rating?

Well, to be honest I was just a bit bored. I think the problem is that I don't particularly like watching gigs on the TV - and while I thought it was a good film for what it is, it just isn't the sort of film for me. That's why I wonder if it's a bit unfair to rate it at all, if I have to rate it low, when the problem isn't so much with what they've done, but what I expect from sitting in front of a screen for 100mins.

I'd enjoy the soundtrack more than the film, and would listen to that in the way and the settings where I usually enjoy music, but it just doesn't work for me on screen.

I did like the dedication at the end though, very sweet/touching.

I understand.
A few years ago I saw Neil in concert, had great seats, loved the whole experience.
Not long after a video of that gig was released and I was frankly bored.
