The Spice Girls tell their own story here, from the auditions and early rehearsals before the group had a name to the flat where Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham first worked out their sound. Interviews with all five members, shot separately, carry the film alongside archive footage of tour stops, video shoots, and press scrums from the height of Spice Girls mania. The band lays out the numbers itself: nine No. 1 singles and a claim to being the biggest-selling all-female group in history, achieved inside just a few years of nonstop touring and promotion. The film does not skip the breakup, letting each member describe how it happened and what came after, including their separate runs at solo careers. It closes on their more recent reunions, treating the group's staying power as its own kind of evidence. The pleasure here is hearing five people narrate the same whirlwind from five different angles.
