    We were very fortunate to see this film at a local Art Theater about a year ago, and I was thrilled to be able to get a copy on disc. This stands out as one of the best documentaries on Syd and the arc of his life. It's especially engaging as the people interviewed are all close friends and former band members, which makes it as accurate and honest as any documentary about him will ever be. It runs a full range of emotions, and offers an enlightening perspective that Syd chose to pursue his artist vision rather than chase fame as a pop star. I will be enjoying this for many years to come.

    This is a wonderfully well done documentary. The art work on the case is great. Comes with a poster that is really nice.

    I've been a Syd Barrett fan since someone gave me a cassette copy of Opel back in like 1989. I've heard the music and the bootlegs. Read all the books and seen as much footage as I thought was available. And I couldn't wait for this film. It is a love letter for sure. Though not quite as much as the Chapman book is - which paints Syd as a songwriting genius right up to the end. HYGIY? surely acknowledges the damage and decline. It was clearly not possible for him to continue with the group. And it would have taken an extraordinary scenario to maintain his career post Floyd given his sporadic moments of genius and more frequent stretches of apathy. We all romanticize the man. We love his work. We ache for what it is and might have been. And we are left wanting. The film is just wonderful. It is a celebration as much as it provides some closure for so many that seemed to need it. My only critique is the heavy reliance on the Pulse era Shine On screen film as narrative tool. But as Storm produced it and made this film, it's fine for what it is. It's entertaining enough. But I might have liked five or ten more minutes of interviews, paintings or photos set with Syd's music rather than rehashed Floyd content.

    This newest documentary on Syd Barrett was emotionally charged There has never been a doubt that Syd had family and friends who really did love him and really cared about him?? It was tearful for me towards the end when particularly Syds sister Rosemary teared up and said she hoped young people would learn from Syd's ownsad outcome and his story?? I also teared up when Andrew who was one of Pink Floyd's manager while Syd was in the band at that time he just cried and said how sad this all was very down to earth and certainly very understandable human emotions Roddy and Storm both did a really outstanding job in how they went about interviewing those that Storm and Syd grew up with in Cambridge England. Certainly was not easy to do I just have to say I am truly sorry for the deep anguish that Syd's family and friends went through for so long not ever really being able to grasp what exactly really went so wrong with there beloved Syd This is a very well done very honest and a very intense documentary couldn't have been put together in a more humanitarian way
