Filmed over the span of nearly a decade through hundreds of shows worldwide, Get Back Up covers Blue October's meteoric rise to the top of the charts and then its equally quick demise. The film also deals with the band's -- and more centrally, frontman Justin Furstenfeld's -- struggles and near-immolation with depression, drug and alcohol-abuse and how it affects the orbit around him, and his ultimate and hopeful redemption and triumph of the human spirit.

Jason D This is the most amazing band that most people haven't heard of. Justin Furstenfeld's struggles with addition and depression have been beautifully put to music and has helped so many people with their own struggles. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/23 Full Review Tina C I thought it was excellent!! After watching it, I understood them and things alot more! I immediately had to watch their concert, Argue with a Tree, and then Things We Do at Night (Live in Texas). Mist watches; all 3. They're amazing!
