Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Largely, you get to watch a nice old guy waxing philosophical in his beloved vegetable garden, in his workshop or amid city traffic.
For every insight, there are a half-dozen meandering conversations and unguided reminiscences.
The doc focuses exclusively on Robert Moog, and Robert Moog is, well, kind of boring.
A collection of dry interviews and so-so music, it's better suited to public TV than the big screen.
