Fascinating, fascinating, fascinating!! The end brought tears to my eyes. The story of Roky and his family was told in a really interesting and suspenseful way. Near perfect. "Do you know how to say 'boots'?"

Saw this with zero knowledge of Roky or the Elevators, which was a good thing, because it allowed me to be genuinely surprised by the twists of his life. I struggled with some of the movie because the footage of Roky in the NOW, as compared to his vintage performances, were just too heartbreaking. What a talent...what a voice. Normally I don't have a problem with "depressing" films, but I did this time...not sure why. In any case, Roky's closing acoustic performance was an exhilarating surprise.

Very good portrait of a talented artist going completely around the bend. You wanna say, "Another druggie buys the farm, case closed", but this movie is structured kind of like a murder mystery: you cannot be sure who or what led Roky to his sorry fate

Kind of a hidden treasure. If you find a copy, check it out.

A very grim, heartbreaking documentary about one of the best minds rock n' roll ever had. I'm glad Roky is doing well now, because this documentary isn't entirely hopeful.
