Kurt Cobain said he stole their riffs; Bono was a major fan. Indie rock band the Pixies have been hugely influential ever since their unique sound made them college radio station favorites in the late 1980s. In 1993, however, creative disputes led the group to break up. This documentary follows the Pixies as they get together for their wildly successful 2004 reunion tour. Although thousands of fans cheer their return, the members find themselves struggling backstage as old issues resurface.

Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2006 Full Review Lou Carlozo Chicago Tribune Filmmakers Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin catch distressing and poignant moments on the tour that, if written into a fiction film, would seem too scripted to be true. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 2, 2006 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe The 85-minute documentary takes a torpid, fly-on-the-wall approach, providing little context, few insights, and not enough music. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 20, 2006 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) . . .loudQUIETloud is a scream, and easily one of the better films about the business of rocking out. Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Karina Longworth Cinematical By night, the Pixies are rock n' roll superheroes...by day, they're just four surly co-workers with very little to say to one another. Feb 1, 2008 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat The Pixies, reunited after 12 years and still in top form. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 11, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A great rock documentary is always amazing even if you don't like the band. When you do, it's even better. This shines a spotlight on the real people behind the big name - a great film. And on the SBS on-demand list! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not quite as fascinating as the music but still worth a look. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Good but I would have liked to have seen more history of the band. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Los Pixies son una banda interesante y con buenísimas canciones. Pero este documental es blando y carente de drama y emoción. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome awesome awesome Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Standard 5 stars for Pixies!
