Jeeeez, the Floyd are as simple and straightforward.as can be. Call it boring for this, I couldn't really argue. But complex and cryptic by purpose? There were some lyrically puzzling moments during a phase after Syd's departure and before DSOTM, but mostly they're just singing about spacetravelling and some other hippiestuff there. And depressing? Did you listen to anything else but The Wall at all? And the movie doesn't give you any idea about the band and their overall stuff anyway. There's lots of happy happy stuff from their very early years. Don't judge an artist by the media image you got.
I like this band, but that goes quite well without adoring them as special and important and cryptic and oooooh aaaahh whatelse. Not really being virtuosos, they managed to create spot on moods and imagery. That's their main accomplishment. Though after Waters' departure they were done for me. Sorry Dave, I respect you deeply, but those last 2 albums weren't much else but bloated.
