The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart

Excellent documentary charting their background, their early/mid career and touches on their later career - but the strong tinges of sadness that permeate the documentary come to the fore at the end. It's a quite sobering and sad tale despite the musical highs these quite astonishing brothers managed to scale. Say what you want about their music - and then accept that they're quite simply fantastic songwriters. I'd have liked a little more representation of their years as elder statesmen of music but with all the illnesses, deaths, etc I can understand that the meat of the story is the earlier years. I'd also have liked more music being given the spotlight - Barry' s demo of his Streisand songs for instance merely plays in the background for 10 seconds. Overall, a highly pleasing but ultimately sombre watch. 7.5/10

I was lucky enough to see the Bee Gees in concert in Birmingham, UK in the early ‘90s. One of the best concert experiences of my life. I believe this film is testament to the view that life is truly what you make of it. 3 brothers who had a vision, a belief and worked to make that happen. So inspirational.
