Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) If you can see it at an IMAX, please do, because it's like being at a concert. That sound is incredible -- crank it up loud! May 8, 2025 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Very informative, very clean-cut. Nothing sordid here, except the music. Rated: 3.5/5 May 1, 2025 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Los Angeles Times Why are these guys so boring? It’s a mystery that won’t be probed by director Bernard MacMahon and co-writer Allison McGourty, who tick off the usual gigs and recording anecdotes on the rise to fame with a then-this-happened dutifulness. Feb 18, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy Super fans will love the extended performances and be less bothered about the lack of depth and revealing details. those less familiar with the band could be less won over by the music, but perhaps not. Rated: 71/100 Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Alfred Castaneda Shade Studios Watch this on the biggest and loudest theater possible. Bring ear plugs. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film The anecdotes are fun, and it’s great to see the band members discuss their meteoric, almost overnight, rise in their own words. However, these only go so far when the director isn’t allowed to actively question the figures of the documentary. Rated: C+ Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
