[snip] But the film is far more than a bitching session about how the
good ol' days have passed. There's some stereotype-busting, too: Hynde
talking about wearing a nursing bra while rocking out onstage; Patti
Smith discussing how being a parent is the most important job she has
ever had; and Tom Petty and Elton John wistfully admitting that being
on the road without someone you love makes for an unbearably lonely
ride. [snip]

Taking to the director's chair, Rosanna Arquette interviews 50 of the

[snip] The film is billed as "a Rosanna Arquette Experience," and to
allow you to experience her experience, she inserts herself into the
action, the way any fan might want to squeeze into a picture with
Patti Smith or Chrissie Hynde or Alison Goldfrapp. (Well, I would.)
There is a certain amount of kissy-huggy showbiz intimacy on display,
but Arquette is one of the tribe after all  [snip]

Former lovers Peter Gabriel and Rosanna Arquette sat down for an
awkward chat as the actress filmed her new documentary "All We Are
Saying." Filmmaker Arquette interviewed rock superstars like Gabriel,
Patti Smith, Sting and Chrissie Hynde, among others, about their
musical inspirations and life away from touring.

But it's her chat about Gabriel's happy home life that stands out as
the film's most awkward moment - he famously dated the star in the
1980s and penned his hit "In Your Eyes" as a tribute to the actress.

Talking about combining his career as a rock star with his personal
life at his home in Box, near Bath, he tells Arquette, "I try to get
balance by integrating enough normal life in there but there is that
energy there and there are those temptations but I think the older you
get... I had my sort of middle period when I was doing my running
around - you may be aware of that. I'm a bit more settled now."

As Gabriel uncomfortably rocks in his chair, Arquette states, "I'm
glad you're settled, I am. I'm happy for you... You seem good. It's
good."
