There's a tremendous amount of pleasure to be had in David Batty's "My Generation," a sloppy wet kiss to Michael Caine and British youth culture of the 1960s.
The longer the doc goes on, the more it sacrifices depth for frenetic overload, with too little in the way of insightful analysis to shed fresh perspective on the Swinging London years.
Thumbnail sketches of Pirate Radio, the Pill, London fashion and photography whiz by in a rush. It often comes off like a telly advert, but an expertly made one.
It's a glorious ode to the pop culture revolution.
It's a familiar but culturally important story that just needed a stronger editorial line to give it real heft. Great fun, though.
As a colourful, smoothly edited nostalgia trip, it's fine; perhaps there'll be more depth in the planned television series.
