Sting: A Free Man 2017
I love Sting, but this documentary is just sub-par.
Scattered with inaccuracies, the Police (one of the biggest bands of the 20th Century) barely get a mention. Will.I.Am is up to his usual trick of pretending to be knowledgeable about the subject, but can't even name Copeland and Summers when he's talking about the Police?
The nonlinear narrative makes it hard to make sense of Sting's progression as a musician. Aided in no way by claims that Sting is a preacher.
It's a shame, the documentary tries to do too much. That which it does is not very well executed.
