Some of the art of Metallica's albums (and of this movie's art covers) feature characters in restrains aluding to asylum patients

A central point of the film is the singer of the band entering rehabilitation for alcoholism after a drinking retreat when he was supposed to be working in the recording studio

It's a documentary and the characters discuss directly about what the documentary is about and in what way will go
