I completely understand and respect the natures of your criticism, but you're talking about arcs and resolving/understanding/compromising etc.. These were real people with real events. They weren't telling a story.. Clearly you add your own dialogue and characters, but can you change the heart? I think the criticism is valid, but you act like they had a choice. It would have been disastrous to manufacture a Hollywood ending or push a theme that wasn't genuine. And that's the problem with these Buckley film endeavors.. Amazing singer, you want to see his story, and some of it does sound like a typical Hollywood story, but is it really that interesting? Was he really that interesting in terms of a film up to the point of the concert? If you're not going to use his whole life, you're not going to be able to make a truly captivating film, and even then you might struggle.. because he basically just sang, like an angel, had fun, and then died before he became a legend. (And with this voice and the respect people always had for him, he'd have become one living or dead.)
