What most seem to dislike is what I liked the most: seeing 1999 through the lens of 2021. Having been 29 in '99, I remember the time very well, and yet it is so easy to forget how different that time was, from the changing (and relevance) of MTV to how attending anything was different before 9/11 to how blatantly misogynistic society was to how experiencing an event pre-cell phone changed anything from documenting one's time at an event to not having any way to connect to a friend who wandered away in a sea of 100s of 1000s of people. Yeah, some of the commentators are woke to the extreme, and, yeah, the producers seem to want to have it both ways (rail against showing women's naked breasts while constantly showing women's naked breasts), but I was mesmerized by the whole documentary, gobsmacked by realizing that was just two decades ago.
