Tomorrow almost completely ignores the shaky start to David Bowie's career, rushing through the last 25 years of his career (from the album 'Black Tie, White Noise') in the last quarter of a documentary that is as we know David Bowie: experimental, never boring, but also pretentious and heavy-handed. Morgen focuses mainly on the period of Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke and the commercial success with 'Let's Dance', combining beautifully edited, but often exhausting visuals with fascinating private footage of Bowie (the shot on the escalator is sublime) and poorly filmed recordings of mediocre performances.

Went with my father. Although more my music than his, he really found the documentary a lot better and more impressive. I certainly thought this thing was well made at times, but also extremely busy and tiring and really too long. It's great how a time image is sketched (often with atmospheric and beautiful images) and how we learn something about the artist Bowie in this enormous mush of images. It's really too much about too long playing time and often it all feels like some loose sand. I can understand my father that he found the documentary impressive, but I also often found it unpleasant and boring. 2.5*.

Moonage Daydream is a totally unique documentary, I've never seen anything like this before. It's a lot, it's whimsical, it's avant-garde, it's art, it's a bit like Bowie himself. No talking heads, just sound & vision, drawn from the many clever interviews, concert images and the like. And what applies to Bowie's music, also applies to this film; not everything is equally good. It is often just too much of a good thing. Fortunately, the 70s in particular are well lit, when he is at an artistic peak. A movie I've been thinking about for days. Also feel like I got to know the man better. Then you have done very well as a documentary maker.
