However, since this documentary seemed to have a solid reputation and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out.

Basically, I was quite eager to learn more about them and this documentary was the perfect opportunity. Eventually, they focused on a really specific time period, around 2 years, during which they were not actually really productive but it doesn't mean that the content was not interesting, in the contrar” read more
