There's something to be said for getting lost in a four-hour movie, set adrift from the traditional markers of time, so that by the film's conclusion, you feel like you've been on a journey too.

It tells the story beautifully, organically, and, by the end, tenderly, as it moves through six thematic "acts."

I'm glad I persisted. It begins as a standard, if meticulous rock doc... But the film seeks the key to the band's magic -- what elevated them from a group of musicians who toured endlessly into a US phenomenon inspiring cult-like devotion.

Using never-before-seen footage and interviews, Bar-Lev's warts-and-all approach fits a band that backed into fame in spite of itself.

You don't need a VR headset to watch Amir Bar-Lev's documentary about the Grateful Dead, because this four-hour movie is as immersive a wade into the waters of the Bay Area-germinated psychedelic band's history as 2D gets.
