Our review
Louder recently reviewed No Escape From Now, with our writer Matt Mills calling the documentary an "imperfect but essential look at Ozzy Osbourne’s final years."
Matt added: "No Escape From Now was not intended to be a posthumous film, which may explain its occasionally rough-around-the-edges delivery, but missteps aside, it’s a moving coda to its subject’s life.
"It documents Ozzy’s final years while touching upon so much more, illustrating how the same personality traits that brought him to the frontier of heavy metal tortured him when he couldn’t do it anymore. Some fans might find it difficult, but many more will find it fascinating."
