20 years ago, Sundance was rocked by DIG!, Ondi Timoner's genre-topping rockumentary about two Gen-X bands and their journey to alt-rock glory. Shot over nearly a decade, DIG! explores the collision of art and commerce through the star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry of dueling 90s bands The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Through their loves and obsessions, gigs, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their shot at mainstream success, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry. DIG! XX -- a bigger, better, crazier expanded reimagining of the original cut -- reminds us why the original is canon and why sometimes, more is better.

Sara Stewart Book & Film Globe DIG XX is, more now than ever in its XXtreme form, one of the best music documentaries. Rated: 4/5 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Great rock docs don’t just capture a moment, they frame it, interrogate it, and maybe even place it on trial. Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Dolores Quintana Santa Monica Mirror DIG! XX is magnificent and fiery, an artistic telling of a story that is frequently misunderstood because of our society’s tendency to put a premium on obedience rather than free will, even in art. Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Differing measures of commercial success, drug addiction, personality conflicts, and so forth conspired to gradually turn these separate camps of besties into enemies. Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Rodrigo Perez The Playlist “Dig! XX,” however, consciously or not, starkly demystifies the f**ked-up tortured artist fairytale. Because in a Blur Vs. Oasis-like mode of toxic competition and rivalry, it’s always the bigger *ssholes who always lose to history in the end. Rated: A- Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider After all these years, this documentary is still as jarring, hilarious, and deeply strange as it ever was, and these new additions only make this shocking story even more astonishing. Rated: 8/10 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
