There's a palpable outpouring of affection from just about everyone on stage, interspersed with shots of the tear-stained 46,000-strong audience, wallowing in memories that (for some) stretch back over half a century. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tyler 1 hr ago Absolutely incredible concert/movie. Any fan of Ozzy needs to see this immediately. See more Gina 2 hrs ago What a great show. Missed the opportunity to see it live when I was in Europe last year. Glad they brought it to the big screen. See more Robert 5 hrs ago A sad farewell to one of the greatest artists ever. Sharon did a great job producing the movie and placing the sets together. See more Diana 6 hrs ago The movie captured ALL of the highlights from the Back to the Beginning concert!! I cried remembering Ozzys and Black Sabbaths performances!! WELL DONE!! See more Joseph 6 hrs ago Just behind the scene account for the event, that day and a little history of Sabbath in Birmingham. But mainly just a great way to see the man say goodbye to the fans. Listing to him since I was a little guy, brought back so many core memories that his music was a part of. The impact on metal bands is countless. Just all around great concert movie. No theatrical BS See more Nicholas 6 hrs ago This was a fantastic movie. We'll made and captured all the emotion and thrill of the concert. Go see it See more Read all reviews
