Audience Member I've never been big into Phish, but I could really appreciate this film's depiction of them. It was very plainspoken. Funny how Todd Phillips has gone from music documentarist to directing comedies like the Hangover. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member If your a phan of Phish you'll enjoy this . makes me happy. nice inside look at the band while on the road in the U.S and Europe. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Makes the band members seem like a bunch of jag-offs, so I suppose it's not inaccurate. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Snooze. I guess this is cool if you're stoned but even stoned Phish is still boring. I can't believe that they picked up the audience where the Dead left off and banked off a bunch of morons. Could be worse but for a doc it really offers nothing but the same stale jams Phish has to offer. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member cool behind the scene stuff, good representation...sort of Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A must if you like Phish Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
