      Ian Buckwalter The Washingtonian The filmmakers get access to a treasure trove of archival footage from the band's early days, but the question of what's going on with H.R., their erratic singer, is the one area of the film that feels frustratingly incomplete. Rated: 6/10 Jun 21, 2012 Full Review Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com There is an impressive amount of archival material here, in line with Cameron Crowe's amazing Pearl Jam Twenty, and if a barely casual observer of the music scene can take interest, true hardcores will find a lot to love here. Rated: 3/4 Mar 8, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
