It's a good story - especially the focus on music as redeemer - but it does feel a bit too warm and fuzzy. Go to Full Review Chris Willman Variety 09/14/2019
Finally amounts to a feature-length EPK. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 09/13/2019

Stedal1978 @RT32336065 10/14/2023 For anyone that's a fan of Liam this is quite an uplifting look at how he managed to pull himself back up from the Oasis breakup and failure of Beady Eye.

Arrogant guy? sure, that why he's awesome, I don't wanna hang out with the dude, but I do wanna hear his music and his voice. He entertains me, isn't that the point?
