No way even one way of Bowie's career would comfortably fit in a ~2 hour movie, so keep that in mind (and there are lots of fine video clips on line, Dinah Shore, Soul Train and more for the heavy duty fan).
Speaking of those deep fans, I worked with a person long ago who adored Bow-head, and I felt my appreciation was thin and paled in comparison to hers, but was no less sincere. For decades he had a larger-than-life impact on the music and creative world, even now he can be larger-than-death.
While the filming here does take some distracting kaleidoscope detours of the director flexing his art muscles perhaps, above all I loved seeing the paintings of Bowie. That and his nomadic travels, which seemed to play up his alien falling to earth personae really were a treat, on top of a small slice of his jukebox delights.
Again there can be nits to pick if that's your bad (I think Eno is indeed a genius, and glad he makes an appearance, but if I blinked I missed Iggy Pop...but did see pop soda Tina Turner tango), just a damn shame he left Earth while still so young at 'art, especially for me when my kids were just getting into him. I think the first album one son bought was "Blackstar."
