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 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/09/22 Full Review Seth F "Meet Me in the Bathroom" really dives into the New York City music scene of the early 2000s, and I have to say, it does a fantastic job of capturing all that raw energy and excitement that made that time so special for so many. I found myself reminiscing about the unforgettable moments and the incredible artists that emerged during that period. It’s nostalgic in the best way possible! That said, I have to admit that I felt a bit lost in the narrative at times. While the stories about the various musicians are undeniably rich and engaging, the flow felt a little all over the place. It left me yearning for a more cohesive storyline that could tie everything together. There were moments when the pacing dragged, and it felt like we were wandering away from the main characters and their stories instead of sticking to the heart of what they were experiencing. What really left me hanging was the ending. It wraps up in a way that feels somewhat unsatisfying, almost like you’re left with more questions than answers about what happened to everyone involved. After getting so invested in their journeys, it’s a bit disappointing to finish and still not know how their stories played out after the credits rolled. That kind of open-endedness can be intriguing, sure, but it also felt a bit frustrating, almost as if I was missing some crucial pieces of their narratives. Overall, "Meet Me in the Bathroom" is a beautiful homage to a musical era we all hold dear, pulling on those sentimental heartstrings. However, its tendency to meander and the lack of resolution for its well-drawn characters did detract from the overall experience for me. I really craved some closure, a peek into what became of these vibrant musicians and their lives after the spotlight faded. So, while it has its quirks, it’s definitely a worthwhile watch for anyone who truly appreciates the magic of music and the connections it creates. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 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
