Re: stoned ((the movie about brian jones)

I watched the movie a couple of nights ago on DVD - Strangely it's less about Brian and more about George Thorogood and his relationship with Brian. Ending of course with Brian's (suspicious) drowning. None of the people come over as being particularly likeable , especially not the 'fixer' Tony who is portrayed as some kind of Gangster character - perhaps he was?
The film picks up on certain key points mostly towards the end of Brian's life - such as Anita, the trip to Morrocco, the Degree of Murder soundtrack (briefly) and the losing of Anita to Keith. It also re-enacts the imfamous meeting with Mick, Keith and Charlie when they tell Brian he's out of the band. In general the relationship between him and the rest of the Stones is barely touched upon. I was expecting a little more about his life and what made him tick.. But perhaps this wasn't the filmakers remit. Probably a well done documentary would be more satisfying in that respect.
