27: Gone Too Soon (2018)

27: Gone Too Soon: Directed by Simon Napier-Bell. With Olly Alexander, Benny Andersson, Steve Blame, David Bowie. An examination of the lives and deaths of the six most famous members of the ’27 Club’ – musicians who have died aged 27: Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse.

“Instead of delving deep into the mythology of this u0026quot;27 Club,u0026quot; the documentary just reviews the careers of a handful of prominent members offering no real insight and connecting very little of each segment to the main idea. And what little is connected is obvious and didnu0026#39;t require a documentary. Gee, yeah, Jim Morrison was moody and depressed and drinking himself to death. And…? Given that and a few glaring factual issues (most annoyingly, the guy who keeps asserting incorrectly that Nirvana had u0026quot;one hit songu0026quot; and u0026quot;one hit albumu0026quot;) this is a disappointing documentary that rambles on and on about the celebrities but sheds very little light on the actual title topic.”
