I actually quite agree with the review by the user kleopatra, who cannot praise this movie enough. This documentary may not really provide any new and shocking information, but it does capture exactly what The Doors, including Jim Morrison, have gone through during their entire working careers. From beginning to end. Everything is completely objective, thanks to the very close shots very personal and thanks to Depp it is told quite emotionlessly. Even though it is common knowledge that he’s a huge The Doors fan. In the end, there is nothing left but to form your own opinion on Jim, which is a big plus of this documentary. And since I like The Doors and watched this documentary for this very reason, I can’t help but rate this with the full number of stars.

If you love the group, you'll probably be pleased, but ultimately, this is just everything that can be found on the internet and nothing much more. It's simply put into one collage, where it's not so much the story of The Doors as it is the story of Jim Morrison. Great singer, great band, interesting stories, but this is just such a bland tribute.
