This is a documentary, so the "Plot" and "Acting" categories above don't apply. However, the structure was interesting, intercutting between the central meeting between all three guitarists, individual interviews, and performance clips from each man's career. The music they make together is, of course, wonderful, but the real treat for me is the insight into the details of music-making from three distinct points of view. The scenes with Edge and his guitar tech are especially revelatory. I found, among the extras, the press conference about the movie to be as interesting as the movie itself, with Jack White's dry wit a highlight. I would recommend this documentary, not just to any guitarist, but any musician, or for that matter, anyone.
What's great about it: Makes a great gift for a guitar player
