I wasn't a Led Zep fan until just after they disbanded in 1980, and got into them in a retrospective way. To be honest some documentary films bore me, too much waffle and not enough action. This is very different. As the title says it's the becoming of, so the formation & what came before, and what came before is fascinating. Quite where they dug up the archive footage from is beyond me, but some of it is amazing quality. Watching the three surviving members talk about their stories is very revealing but watching them listening to John Bonham's tales is even more so. It becomes clear that this was a perfect collaboration waiting to happen. It does also show how fantastic it would be to see a Zeppelin concert at the cinema - I so hope it happens.

This is an amazing film, so if you want to find out more about the very early days, do yourself a favour and go see it!

I'm one of those (seemingly rare) ladies who doesn't like the song so when I saw there was a film pretty much rotating around that song & George Michael's music in general I never considered watching it for a minute. Then when it was shown on telly a couple of years ago I thought I'd watch it as there was nothing else on.

To say it was a surprise would be an understatement. It's a decently plotted, well acted, moving, funny film that more than relies on the total song (which is barely in the film) for its appeal. If you want a film that doesn't try and be anything more than it is then go watch it, even if you don't like the song.

I loved the first film, much to my surprise as it wasn't something I thought would be good. So when I saw a second film was coming out, I was intrigued to see whether it would be as good. The good news is - it is. It's a study in the life of a newly teenage girl trying to balance fitting in with friendships, emotions, life changes & everything else that happens when puberty hits.

The characters are very well written & if you're anything like me you'll find yourself nodding in agreement at so many things. It's also very emotional in parts, mainly because it manages to say exactly what you're thinking.

In a world where life can be all of the emotions in this film, do yourself a favour and go and see it. You'll love it !
