Chris Smith directs George Michael, Andrew Ridgeley and Elton John in this candid documentary about the Eighties pop sensations who split up at their peak.

Watched on a packed National Express night coach with an unhoused gentleman twitching and farting next to me for the entire runtime. The archive stuff here feels a lot more personal and candid than most collages of footage. You get a real insight into their unique position in the music landscape. And on a personal note I always loved Wham as a kid and 15 years after their break up their songs still got everyone I drank with on the dance floor in the pub on a Friday night. So I enjoyed this plenty. Both of them come across as decent human beings who hit the fame jackpot by making people happy. Good for them.
