Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd

This film is spectacularly well done, taking the time to tell the story of Roger Barrett as a child, his transformation into Syd Barrett through childhood, and the formation of Pink Floyd before exploring the tragic turn of events which lead to his sudden and mysterious exile.

With insightful interviews of friends and bandmates (which is amazing unto itself given the state of Pink Floyd in the post Waters era), beautiful visual and sound design, and story arc - Bogawa and Thorgerson take the audience of an emotional journey of an amazing person who was caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom.

Careful to avoid any tabloids or cheap shortcuts pointing to easy answers. Barrett's story is told in a compassionate and caring narrative. We learn about the duality of Roger and Syd - how they seemed to be two different people trapped in one mind, and how his psychological breakdown leaves no easy explanations and continues to remain a tragic mystery - and while there is a Brian Jones, Peter Green, or Pete Best - no one shaped a band like Barrett did and then departed in such a tragic way before that band reached such highs.
