C M The insufferable, pretentious jam band makes this cliche documentary a joke not worthy of a Spinal Tap comparison. ST was in on the joke, the National was not. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review bill t After a ridiculously strong first half, where a brother of a famous rock star goes on tour with his band hired as a roadie, but secretly wants to make a film about the band, this movie sort of tapers off in the second, post tour. As a matter of fact, when that happens, I was sort of shocked, because the most interesting thing was this guy's reactions to being on tour with this band. So how is he going to follow up? We get into a little bit of family life, depression and filmmaking, but I'm sorry. It's just not cutting it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Masterpiece. Pure. Love. Tom talking about Matt's bad dream is one of the best scenes I have ever seen in a movie. And it's also this movie's perfect conclusion. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good movie! Very entertaining to watch even when you don't know the National. It gets very personal and close to the band and into the mind of Tom. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review brendan n I'm not a huge supporter of music documentaries but this was very interesting. The brother lost in the limelight and struggling to find his own place may sound tiresome but this film has a lot of heart. The behind the scenes portrait of one of the greatest and critically acclaimed bands of the last ten years. The film is overly long and never over stays its welcome, the interaction between the brothers are very hilarious and uncomfortable at times. The scene where the older brother is questioning why the younger brother has left a bowl of cereal in the bathroom is priceless. By the end you are swept up in the brothers search for meaning and are provided insight into a band who has managed to avoid mainstream popularity for their duration. 21-07-2017.
