Emotional portrait of a frontman at the center of a horrific attack, but it doesn't feel quite complete.

New York Times

It's a pileup of sorrow, survivor guilt, anger and defiance that sometimes grows unruly.

This poignant documentary champions the curative powers of rock 'n' roll - and also reminds us: Always know your exits.

If you didn't know much about the band before, you'll be a fan soon enough. That's before the horror of the attack is recalled.

However incomplete, Nos Amis nevertheless stands as an engrossing portrait of the power of honesty and friendship, the permanence of art, and the perseverance of the human spirit.

This rating is for the quality of the documentary itself. Powerful, moving... it's fantastically filmed and edited. The music is amazing! Rarely does anyone get so close to the details of such an event as the terrorist attacks on the Bataclan on November 13, 2015. Thank goodness.

It took a lot of guts to suck 'em up again after being cracked open to the core to see all your dearest fans not amis blood come spraying out before your memories for all time all the time and get back out there to show your adoration for the gratitude & responsibility of survival from such slaughter.

One of the Best Documentaries I've ever seen. There was nothing I didn't like about it. So to be honest, I had never heard of the band Eagles of Death Metal until the horrible Paris Attacks at the Bataclan. Horrible day. Horrible images. Horrible stories. I heard they were making a Documentary and then I heard how amazing it was at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. I'm so glad I saw this. This was done so well. Obviously it's tough to watch. I'm still in tears. I was very moved and I can't imagine anyone not being moved by this. I never thought about being a band member or a fan when this happened. Having this horrible attack happen while your doing something you really love or seeing a band you really love. How that can affect your feelings for those things you love. This was incredibly sad but also uplifting. You feel the love and the strength. I am so in love with this movie. Documentaries aren't usually the type of movies I rewatch but I will rewatch this. Colin Hanks, please keep directing. Highly recommend this. If you can watch it. Please do.
