Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/22 Full Review Jannette A must-see if you are or were a fan of any of these bands, especially if you were listening to them in the early 2000. It's a really interesting glimpse into that time and place. Also, never knew James Murphy was so funny. So much meme material from him lol. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/22 Full Review Michael G It sucked don’t bother. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/09/22 Full Review Seth F "Meet Me in the Bathroom" offers a vibrant exploration of the early 2000s New York City music scene, perfectly capturing the raw energy and nostalgia of the era. The documentary features rich stories about various musicians that evoke fond memories, but the narrative occasionally feels disjointed and lacks a cohesive flow, leaving the viewer yearning for stronger connections among the characters' journeys. The pacing drags at times, and the open-ended conclusion disappointingly leaves many questions unanswered about the futures of these artists. While it serves as a touching tribute to a cherished musical period, the meandering narrative and absence of resolution detract from the overall experience, making viewers crave closure on the lives of these vibrant musicians after the spotlight fades. Nonetheless, it remains a worthwhile watch for music enthusiasts looking to relive a magical time. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Wayne M Meet Me in the Bathroom is a sometimes exciting look at the burgeoning Indie music scene in New York in the early 2000s. Based on the book of the same name it documents a scene that rose pretty quickly on the back of some pretty exciting bands. New York has always been a centre for music. Many legendary acts have started or been through this enormous city. But the 90s were a fairly dry period with Seattle taking much of the music scene attention. But around 1999 and 2000 things started up again with The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the forefront. But in 2001 the scene really burst out with The Strokes debut album a huge success. Soon followed Interpol, TV on the Radio and others. This film does a good job capturing some early footage as these bands were just starting out. I think it captures the vibrancy and excitement of the times quite well. It probably needed to spend more time on each band and The Walkmen should definitely have been included. But overall, it's a worthy music documentary. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review John H A thoroughly self-indulgent, poorly composed effort at documenting just a few bands of limited lasting relevance. There is a juvenile theme that The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the stuff of generational change. But the movie presents no evidence they were anything of the sort. Instead it is a flow of consciousness mish mash of amateur footage that fails to establish any coherency. Instead, we witness (again and again) some bloody awful incoherent amateur footage of these bands treading the familiar path of "nothings" climbing to a modicum of popular attention. Julian Casablancas is listed as a producer of whatever this is - Julian, find something else to do. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
