Just watched this for the first time (finally) the other night. Knew it would end at 1981. Still thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope Ronnie Wood is right when he says there will be a part II at some point. And Mick really set it up nicely with the final bit about "you can't stay young forever..." Not sure if we'll ever see anything on the 80's through the present, but I can hope.

Director Brett Morgen explains it in the interview link below. Mick didn't want to do a traditional documentary where they sit down and talk and then show clips, he wanted it to be 2 hours and entertaining. Morgen knew they couldn't cover 50 years in 2 hours, and with a more movie-like approach he needed a story line. So he focused on the first phase of their career, the "black hat" phase where everyone hated them and traces their progression up to the next phase of their career where everyone began to love them, which changed around 1981/1982, which is why the film stops where it does because it completes the story line chosen for the doc.
