UnCut has some harsh remarks concerning Stoned, a film by Stephen Woolley about late Stones’ guitarist Brian Jones :
Woolley mounts the film brilliantly in the muted, grainy stock of the time – and there's sly references to Kenneth Anger, Performance and Blow-Up in there, too. But there’s something dreadfully sloppy about soundtracking Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" over an acid trip sequence. The film is noticeably bereft of Stones music, Woolley making do with a smattering of covers.
