One of those docs that makes the classic mistake of feeling more like a Wikipedia entry than a focussed piece. It’s a decent document about the history of metal and probably very useful for a music class or someone who’s just getting into the genre, but not much beyond that. For something that’s directed by a self-proclaimed metalhead I was kinda surprised about how much it’s focussed on just a surface level exploration of the most well known bands. Every time it hints at a deeper topic associated with this subculture (satanic panic; the role masculinity; the question of its artistic value), Dunn cuts off the conversation before it gets interesting. Just a very boring, dry watch if you ask me. 4/10
