Same here Tony - it started late, and I didn't realize there were 2 extra songs after the credits. (From Havana Moon you suppose?) And I was in a hurry to catch the end of the Patriots game. ;-) Can't wait for (hopefully) the DVD - with lots extras would be good too!

I should add that I did enjoy what I did see. No need for me to review it as I think jahisnotdead nailed it.

One can always find faults with most anything I suppose. I DO agree with his comment about the rest of the touring band being completely skipped over.

There were about 30 people at the movie in New Jersey. I missed the 2 songs after the credits, Bummer.

Enjoyable film, I agree with the above review though. Several closeups of other band members but no mention of them. Got a real sense of the exitement in these huge venues, of the love their fans have for them. The 2 full songs at the end were a treat. But I enjoyed it, would buy the dvd to see it again. Probably 50 people in theater.

Only 50 people? Whats the capacity?
People missed a treat. Its one of my favourite Stones movies, certainly more enjoyable than their pure concert films.

It was showing in 3 theaters in San Diego. Theater capacity was probably 250 in the one we were in, one of the smaller ones in the multiplex.

Maybe being in a large shopping center 2 weeks before Christmas kept people away from that location. Sorry for the duplication, 1st post didn't seem to post.

This is a GREAT film!

-Loved all the crowd concert shots
-You really had the feeling of being at the various concert venues
-Great cinematography - plenty of long shots of each city/country
-Loved how the Havana concert preparation was woven throughout the film
-The Stones intro to film itself was such a treat!
-The LatAm fans are fantastic - the energy level for these shows was absolutely amazing
-When we arrived at the theater they were BLASTING 'Blue & Lonesome' - the audience LOVED IT. Turn it Up, indeed!!

Such a great time!

Loved it. Great shots of The Stones in the rain!

The film was shown on UK's Channel 4 TV.

I actually don't remember any songs AFTER the (very extensive credits).
Also, just before the end of the film you see some children playing around throwing stones into the sea.....one of the shots reminds me of a very early shot of Keith (cigarette in mouth, I recall) carving a design into the sand.

So what were the two extra songs. JJF and GS?

Out of Control and Paint it Black

Yeah, there are plenty of other songs I would have rather seen, but oh well.

Still, good fun - for those who remained AFTER the credits!

The two songs were a Bonus for the US-Cinema:

"This event also features an exclusive introduction from the band and two full-length bonus performances from the Argentinian tour dates." -- [www.rollingstones.com] .

Therefore also the extended runtime 2h:5mins instead of 1h:40mins.

From the pics I've seen on internet it looked to me it was the same interview that was screened before Havana Moon, but I might be wrong.

Out of town in Greenville, SC. There were a whopping 11 people in the theater. At least that's better than when they showed The Who @ Hyde Park. All of 3 for that one.

The movie was interesting, but the volume was terrible. Used a decibel app on my iPhone to measure the level. Averaged mid-60's, which equates to "normal conversation". The only time it cracked 80dB was for a brief moment when the fireworks went off. Complained, and they said they would do something, but didn't. Guess I'll wait for the disc to come out. :-( Hope is was louder in other theaters.

Saw it last night in Denver- Loved it. The Buenos Aires footage brought back so many good memories and they did a great job explaining the cultural phenomenon of Stones fans in Argentina.

My biggest take away is that in 2016, the Rolling Stones are all about bringing and spreading joy around the world with their music and energy. These are guys in their 70's- they're no longer dangerous, they're more or less sober, they all have grandkids but the joy.... for the band and fans alike. It's palpable. When people bitch about ticket prices or stale set lists, I'd point them to this movie. I got goose bumps a few times last night. A Stones show these days is a celebration. A celebration and culmination of the world's greatest rock and roll band 50 plus years into their trip. A celebration between the band and their fans, playing the songs that made them what they are. A Stones show in the States these days is almost more about bragging rights that you were there verses the crowds in Latin America. These people packed huge stadiums and were having the time of their lives. Again, it was this joyous celebration- for the crowds and the band.

THANKS GJV!!!

That will be a great start of the X-mas weekend with the family!!!

I have already seen it, but Friday dec. 23 I'm gonna spread the Olé Olé Olé words like a disease...

Can't Stop It!!!

I thought it was better than jah's review...to me, it was a great window into South America and the passion the fans have for the Stones..If I had wanted a film focusing more on the music, I'd have waited to see the Havana movie/concert..i got what I was hoping for with this one..highly recommend it and it was nice hearing the new cd playing before the film began..

I like Gaetzi's comments. Yeah - the movie really shows how in S. America the Stones are so much more than just 'a concert.' It's like they represent Freedom and the fans appreciate seeing them SO much more. I found the film, and Havama Moon, quite emotional.

"The biggest failing of the film in my opinion is the total exclusion of the other members of the touring band."

I think this is the first time anyone on this board has asked for more Chuck!

My sentiments exactly. I am so tired of the whining. We are blessed to have them.

What is the beautiful acoustic piece Keith was playing by the pool? La Malaguena I believe very nice!!

Only two or three other people in the theater in Billings, Montana. Was a good film. The music, though only clips, was really great. That goes for the live shots as well as studio overlays. I had/have so many observations, wish I had made notes of them during the film.

The close ups of Keith amazed me in terms of how old he looks and that he is basically bald on top (that scene where he is welcoming someone into his hotel room). Loved Country Honk.

To see how the audiences connect with the band is refreshing. No jaded American or European audiences who have seen them for over 50 years. The Stones as part of a cultural revolution in various countries, especially Cuba. Still making history, in those countries. Kind of a throwback to the 60s and 70s when they made history in the UK, Europe and the US. And had cultural impact.

And the scene in the Tributo Bar in Buenos Aires was very cool. The Stones acknowledging their fans.

More later as I think of it.
also l often watch movies clear through to the end including the credits so I saw the last two songs though I don't know why they did that including why they chose those particular numbers

does anybody know where I can get the bonus clips?

Nobody?

I would imagine the DVD will have bonus cuts

Maybe it has no bonuses because it was part of the Japanese 'Havana Moon' Deluxe-Box.

A worldwide release as a single DVD/Blu-ray could have bonuses - or the Olé-Documentary could be part of another package, e.g. along with rarely played songs from the Latin America Olé Tour 2016.

Do you mean in the Pro-Shot quality from the Cinema?

In the USA the movie is up on iTunes to download now but I can't watch this on a tablet or computer screen. i need to wait for the official bluray release which I'm sure will happen within the next 2 months.

With an AppleTV device it's possible to watch it on the big TV screen - [www.apple.com] .

You can also connect the iPhone or iPad via HDMI-adapter to the big TV screen - [www.apple.com] .
