One of the most arresting and intriguing rock documentaries that I have ever been glad to see. At times very close (though never deliberately 'personal') and at times very fly-on-the-wall, Gimmie Shelter does only one thing well: Show very thoroughly what its like to be one of the biggest bands of all time. It does that in spades. What you also get is how frustrating it is for them to try and give something back, to benefit others. Everything is out of their control and things spiral outwards from there.
This couldn't have been done any other way.
