From the description, I expected to see a lot of documentary footage about Patti Smith, especially since the title was taken from one of Patti's most popular songs. (Ivan did co-write the tune). I was very disappointed to find that it was mostly a poorly produced documentary about Ivan, with a few moments from his days with the Patti Smith Group. Perhaps if it had been made a little more clear that this was the case, I would have enjoyed it more, but mostly it was some sort of "Ivan is the second coming of Christ" message, primarily put out by Ivan. Self-worship is rarely attractive. Ivan is a very talented musician, but apparently no one thinks he is as talented as he does.
