Ron R Jul 2, 2018 The script and story seem reasonable (though I don't know enough about the Rolling Stones' history to judge how historically accurate they are), and the production design and cinematography are quite nice - vivid costumes and believable sets and locations. Most of the damage to the film was done during post-production. Plodding psychedelic "trip" sequences, retro-sixties cliches, and the editors match every key moment with a period song (usually not by the Rolling Stones), i.e. "White Rabbit" for when characters take LSD for the first time, "Ballad of a Thin Man" for when Jones gets fired). The death scene has harsh string music over it, a la Hitchcock. The problem with the chronological jumps is not that they're confusing, but that they serve no purpose. Our knowledge of the characters is not advanced or deepened by them; their only apparent purpose is to make the film seem sophisticated (at which they fail). Jones and Thorogood are both portrayed entirely unsympathetically, as indeed are all the characters, with the possible exception of one of the witless girlfriends. At the end, you wanted them all to drown in that pool. See more

George G Jun 21, 2017 An alright biopic about the Rolling Stones member Who started it all. The movie was kind of boring, Brian Jones mean makes a character named Frank his play thing and you have to endure his antics which are the entertaining. It gives you look in the life that he lead before his death. In the end you don't really care about the guy. I wash is just to get something I wash is just to go look at the Rolling Stones and maybe get into their music. There isn't any of their music in this. At least not that I can tell. See more
