Reviewers criticize Simon Napier-Bell's documentary '27: gone too soon' as overly reductive and too brief. The film focuses on six famous members of the '27 club' but gives each only short segments. Critics note sparse musical content and interviews that add little new insight. Overall recommendation in the reviews: avoid.
