There are fascinating nuggets, but nothing you couldn't pick up from a decent biography.
It's something to watch the shining eyes of doughy, aging Brits as they stand before the kaleidoscopic jumpsuit he wore on Top of the Pops in 1972.
Don't expect much insight into the music itself. And don't expect after to feel like you were there - if museum exhibitions had DVD extras, this would be one.
It's a little like hugely extended footage for the sort of arts review show that might feature Paul Morley. Look who it is.
While it's a very good video presskit for the exhibition, it makes for a peculiar sort of rockumentary. The exhibition is already one time removed from its ever-elusive subject. The film kind of telescopes that feeling.
Puffy rather than insightful, it's a slog even for Bowie diehards.
