Synopsis: In 1970, 'Blood, Sweat and Tears' was one of the biggest bands in the world. They had exploded on the scene with both daring and promise, selling millions of records, winning multiple Grammy Awards and headlining the legendary Woodstock festival. BS&T was a darling of the mainstream and rock press, icon of the counterculture and inspiration for a generation of horn-based bands. Their future was limitless. And then it all went wrong.

Critics' reviews

"More than it knows, this movie is an engaging, and sometimes enraging, exposé of chronic insularity"

Anthony Lane: The New Yorker
"[It] tells a succulent story, but it also captures a moment that was, perhaps, destined to be no more than a moment. As the commentator David Wild observes, what goes up must come down"

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"What happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears, judging by this spurious, somewhat cranky documentary by John Scheinfeld, is that the band faced the unforeseen consequences of its own bad decisions"

Calum Marsh: The New York Times
