I'm baffled at any online reviews that are downgrading this film due to there not being "enough music". First off, that was not the point of the documentary at all. Heck, read the description and you can gather that. That being said, there still is a ton of music in this one. This documentary mostly focuses on the time Billy Joel and his family (Christy Brinkley and daughter Alexa) spent in Russia, at a time when it was sort of frowned upon. The documentary provides a lot of insight into the time and it's really quite inspiring to see what he accomplished while over. In the end, it was about so much more than the music; but the music was the ultimate vessel. If you are a fan of Billy Joel or even remotely respect his work, I highly recommend giving this one a view. You won't be disappointed.
