For one, Morgen lets several of Bowie's concerts play out nearly in their entirety. He creates a cacophony of swirling emotions from Bowie's live musical performances, creating nearly a non-stop montage of exploding imagery and sound from beginning to end. Morgen connects all the different periods of Bowie's life in a way that pays immense respect to the musician. It shouldn't quite work the way it does, but even with its slightly repetitive nature, Moonage Daydream never feels redundant or boring. Like David Bowie himself, it is larger-than-life in the best way possible.

The film doesn’t cover Bowie’s personal life as such – although it touches on his half-brother Terry and his tense relationship with his mother. Angie is not mentioned, although Iman is: this film is about the public Bowie, the Bowie of surfaces and images. His personal life is a mystery: he says he has never bought a property in his life (at least before settling down with Iman) and just existed in London or LA or Berlin, simply pursuing the vocation of an artist, albeit an artist who has been lavishly and lucratively recognised in his own lifetime. a b c d Ravindran, Manori (18 November 2021).

Other than a bit of repetition, I honestly never felt the length of “Moonage Daydream,” a movie that wants you to get lost in it as an experience more than the “teaching tool” approach of the standard music doc. I got lost in it just as I often do in Bowie’s music. And somehow that act of getting lost—both in the music and the film about him—feels more rewarding than knowing where we’re going. Bowie speaks at one point about going into the deep water until just when your feet can’t touch the ground anymore. That’s where creativity can be found. That’s where this movie lives.

Retrieved 17 October 2022.Peter Bradshaw, in his review of the film for The Guardian, gave it a score of five out of five stars. [18] He called the film "a glorious celebratory montage", and wrote favourably of how the film "shows that his fans, especially the ecstatic young people at the Hammersmith Odeon and Earl's Court shows, were not different from Bowie: they became Bowie. Overwhelmed, transfigured, their faces looked like his face." [18] Robert Daniels, writing for RogerEbert.com, praised the film's editing, and called it "a bombastic, overstimulating, poignant, life-affirming, and risk-taking summation of the artist's ethos and maturation as a person. In short, Moonage Daydream is the film Bowie would've proudly made." [19] Fionnuala Halligan of Screen Daily called the film "a pristine sensory voyage, with astonishing sound", and lauded its presentation as "skilled and satisfyingly unconventional". [20] Bowie's third phase is covered by showing him appearing in his tailored Savile Row double breasted business suits and appearing in duets with multiple established artists such as Tina Turner and others. He is depicted as having entered the height of his career and formed a new life style with his new wife Iman Abdulmajid. Bowie dies at the age of 69.

At the turn of the 20th century, Friedrich Nietzsche proclaimed that God is dead and that man had killed him." "This created an arrogance with man that he himself was God. But as God, all he could seem to produce was disaster." "That led to a terrifying confusion: for if we could not take the place of God, how could we fill the space we had created within ourselves?" The companion album to MOONAGE DAYDREAM features songs spanning Bowie’s career and includes previously unheard material, unique mixes created for the film and this release along with dialogue from Bowie himself.
