Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 03/28/2014
3/5
A stage-managed yet weirdly gripping documentary that tracks the final tour of DJ trio Swedish House Mafia. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Guardian 03/27/2014
3/5
Very much an in-house-made, authorised portrait, the film does a solid job of capturing the sweat, spectacle and subsonic kick of the live performances, but delivers only a sanitised version of why they're splitting up. Go to Full Review

1/5
Fans of Swedish House Mafia will lap up this farewell concert doc, but it's unlikely to resonate with a wider audience. Go to Full Review

Beyond some harrowing episodes that pile up (love the Tesla gag) I never had the sense that the movie stood decisively upon its own two legs. That it’s not an amalgam of references being repackaged right in front of our eyes. Go to Full Review

No matter how much I fought it, there's no denying the power of Swedish House Mafia's music; admittedly, I left the theater with the acoustic version of their infamous hit "Don't You Worry Child" playing in my head, and it didn't stop for days. Go to Full Review
Nick Deigman Fan The Fire 11/07/2014
4/5
The film is certainly a visual delight, and does a better job than any film this critic has seen of reflecting how it feels to be at an electronic dance event of that size. Go to Full Review
