‘[A] shapeshifting eulogy to David Bowie… A glorious celebratory montage of archive material, live performance footage, Bowie’s own experimental video art and paintings, movie and stage work and interviews with various normcore TV personalities with whom Bowie is unfailingly polite, open and charming… The jittery fever of [Bowie’s] presence continues long after the film has ended.’—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
