People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable. - Mick Jagger

Hilarious. Even more dated than the Stones 1990 tour outfits.
Of these talking heads:
Hanif Kureishi, once an edgy writer (The Buddha of Suburbia and My Beautiful Laundrette) is now a menopausal bore with absolutely nothing to say; he's probably waiting on a call from Ben Elton to turn one of his crap recent books into a musical.
Nick Kent, once an edgy music writer, is now a nobody, living in France, churning out occasional pieces on The Arctic Monkeys. He looks terrible too - chinless, turkey necked and hiding his baldness under a kind of backwards sock.
Philip Norman wrote a great biography of The Beatles, and a spiteful, inessential one about The Stones (which essentially stopped in 1972).
Robert Sandall went to work for Virgin and was - ha ha ha! - The Stones press officer while they were on the label.
Sean O'Hagan still writes about music.
The Stones may not technically have made a decent album since Steel Wheels, but they're still going, still generating headlines and interest ...
This documentary could have been made any time after 1973, when critics have regularly written the, off as irrelevant, a nostalgia act etc etc. The point is, who cares?

Im pretty sure The Stones have got a few more tricks up their sleeve yet.

No. They don't.
KeithNacho is right. While they may still produce something you like, they've made their masterpieces. There will be no more of those.

The Rolling Stones have never pretended to be "rebels","flagbearers of a generation" or whatever those rock critics believe the Stones were at one point. The Stones have lived their lifes and recorded music their own way. A lot has been written on them, they have inspired rock journalists to come up with idealistic views. The writers have filled up pages(their jobs$$$) with emotional, responses after catching shows and listening to their records. I have read and enjoyed lot of it. Now or in 1990 the rock critics are older, fed up, uninspired, grown out of love with the stones and they decide that the stones suck. Those rock critics sound tired, bored and quite stupid. Nick Kent you are officially a douche bag!
Rock and Roll,
