A great documentary about a great band that doesn't get bogged down in the repetitive hero worship that usually sinks these things.

Documentaries about underrated bands frequently make the claim that their subject was pivotal to the evolution of music as we know it. Sometimes that claim is spurious, but in the case of Descendents it isn't an understatement to say that they wrote the template for melodic pop punk. Sadly they never came close to the level of success enjoyed by some of the bands they influenced, and Filmage is an attempt to set the record straight. Like the band itself, Filmage cuts through the pretensions of rock stardom to chronicle the up-and-down struggles of musicians juggling career (Descendents singer Milo Aukerman famously left the band to pursue a career as a scientist), parenthood, and ill health. I'm not sure if Filmage will appeal to an audience unfamiliar with the Descendents/ALL's body of work, but for fans this is an absolute treat.

Filmage offers an entertaining history lesson about how the alt-rock geeks did not quite inherit the earth.

Behind every pop-punk success story is a debt to the original L.A. bands chronicled in this ingratiating docu.

Drummer and songwriter Bill Stevenson ... [is] as energetic and emotional in the interview segments as he is in archival performance footage.

Into this obsessive history, however, co-directors Deedle Lacour and Matt Riggle have smuggled a human-interest story.

Rated: 3.5/5
