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

Rating: ★★★★☆ “Have You Got It Yet?” is a mesmerising and thought-provoking documentary that unravels the enigmatic life of Syd Barrett, the founding member of Pink Floyd, and his significant role in the psychedelic rock movement of the 1960s. Directed by Roddy Bogawa and co-directed by the late Storm Thorgerson, the film seamlessly weaves together interviews, rare archival footage, and captivating dramatisations to paint a vivid and multifaceted portrait of Barrett.
