The film documents the incredible stories of family, identity, redemption, loss, and salvation that make Metallica's fans perhaps the most recognized example of why music matters to the world, and of why Metallica is the kind of band that can literally save lives, including their own.

John Stark Mac the Movie Guy This feels like an easy sell to the fans. I’m sure the only fans who won’t appreciate it are the ones whose interviews were left on the cutting room floor. Still, with so many celebrities allergic to fan interaction, it is nice to see embracing this. Rated: 85/100 Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... a propulsive experience that doesn’t require audiences to know anything at all about Metallica’s lineup or their music in order to recognize why the songs and the band matter to the fans for all that’s within the film is story after story of love ... Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
