The Who: The Kids Are Alright

One film that won't f-f-f-f-fade away

1979101 min7.3 / 10

A vibrant, energetic documentary celebrating The Who's anarchic spirit and musical legacy, suffused with nostalgia and the bittersweet knowledge of Keith Moon's impending death.

Through concert performances and interviews, this film offers us a comprehensive look at the British pioneer rock group, The Who. It captures their zany craziness and outrageous antics from the initial formation of the group in 1964 to 1978. It notably features the band's last performance with long-term drummer Keith Moon, filmed at Shepperton Studios in May 1978, three months before his death.
