The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville will present two screenings of Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd.

The showtimes will be on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 7 PM and Saturday, Sept. 2 at 6:30 PM. The biography/documentary-style movie came out in 2023 and was directed by Roddy Bogawa and Storm Thorgerson. It earned 100 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes review website.

The story details Syd and Pink Floyd crystallized a cultural moment where anything seemed possible but where that freedom could come with a cost. Was Syd just another drug casualty? Did he suffer from an undiagnosed mental condition? Or did he dislike the attention and fame as the fun turned to work?

While there are no clear answers, there is the feeling by all those around Syd that something went terribly wrong. Have You Got it Yet? is a chronicle and a mosaic of Barrett’s creative and destructive impulses, his captivating presence and absence — a portrait of the complex puzzle that was his life.

“It’s as comprehensive and coherent an account of Barrett’s counterculture tragedy as one could hope for,” writes The New York Times.
