Enjoyable insight into the man.......slightly frustrated by the lack of labelling on who was actually speaking on camera...fine for those that know, but perhaps bemusing for those that didn't recognise or know of the contributers

Starts out sort of sloppy, but picks up to really get in depth for the definitive clash years

"I've never cared for Joe Strummer and The Clash, but Julien Temple's Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten is, for the most part, some sort of incredible." - Nick Schager

More emotionally than factually driven. Has some great and unexpected editing choices, but doesn't go far enough in either the story-based or feeling-based direction.

Definitely something to watch if you're a fan of the Clash or Joe Strummer. If not, I'm not sure if the story is compelling enough to hold your interest. A nice tribute to an important human being though.

LOVED it the first time. Noticed some flaws the second. I was initially blown away by the emotion, and the reveal for why the campfire motif was used. Temple also injects much energy into the first 2/3 of the film. But Joe's post-Clash life was not fleshed out as it should have (not one clip of him with The Pogues?). I also thought that the The Clash's final years were treated like an afterthought. One minute devoted to "Sandanista"? Still, a very good movie about a talented and principled man.

Sweet doc about one of my favorite musicians. My favorite part is when Scorsese meets Joe and talks about how his source of creativity for Raging Bull was from The Clash. Very cool. Probably not as interesting for people who aren't fans, but if you aren't a fan, you're doing something wrong with your life.

Its flaws are in its focus and it focuses a bit too much on the early Clash, but its an otherwise great documentary with a great running motif.

The stuff before and after The Clash is fascinating, however the Clash years is a typical rock star story, and presents a narrow view of the band focusing on certain aspects.
