Truly Dreadful Film
Aneesa Wardle
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

As someone who can get easily tired of concert films, or just concerts in general (I much prefer hearing music by myself), this really did as much as it could. I think the stage in which Waters performed is amazing, and it's a really heightened experience, one that as with every concert loses its impact as it goes on. But that's as far as the concert goes. The film does a great job of really emphasizing the visual texture and atmosphere of the concert while also adding in a bit of "road film" tendencies, which I think was a clever way to really bring everything together. Overall, this is a really neat package for every Pink Floyd fan.

I went to see the concert in Lisbon, Portugal in 2012. It was the most incredible show I ever seen. When the movie was announced I just couldn't wait to relieve everything one more time. Roger not only is brilliant musician and songwriter but also a great show man, he knows how to prepare an amazing experience for his crowd. This movie was the first time that I see such an emotional Roger, and that is a good thing. This is the way that concerts shouldn't recorded and then later presented, I was seating and in every song I felt the need to just get up and start moving, the same way I did when I was on the concert. Totally amazing experience! I can't wait for the Blu-ray release of this, its a must have for me, so I can later relieve this amazing life experience one more time. As floyd fan, and as person whose life changed thanks to the Pink Floyd music, thank you Roger. Thank you David. Thank you Nick. Thank you Rick.

I was very curious what this film would be about and what Roger would make it look like. There is already so much material about The Wall, what can be added to that? I went to the show live in Paris and it was a great show but you could feel Roger's megalomania already. And this is what the film inspired me too. I had a good moment because I love the music but the whole story about Roger's personal life and past and how he had to summarized it so shortly , in this dramatic way which looks so fake, did not really contribute to the concert and to what the wall is really about. Anyway, I loved the discussion between Roger and Nick at the end of the movie. It was a fun moment and I think there is also a message that Roger wished to give here: that he wouldn't be against a reformation of Pink Floyd but David would...which is understandable after you actually saw the movie and understand more Roger's personality!!!

Great experience! A staggering production and intimate insight into a classic album that in the blink of an eye is; irritating, stunning, frightening, beautiful, angry, powerful, simple, complex, disheartening, and uplifting.The segments with Roger Waters away from the stage gave me a rich insight into how he came to create the story of 'The Wall'. No doubt that creating this production was cathartic for Mr. Waters. The common thread that 'The Wall' shares with the 'classics' of all genres is that it is as relevant (if not more so) today as when it was originally penned.
