Over 25 years and 10 studio albums -- using brute sonic force mixed with subtlety and grace -- Mogwai have defined their own musical genre and built a loyal following by staying true to their sound and true to their roots. The film takes us on a journey from their very beginnings, in the mid 1990s, to the band writing and rehearsing their tenth studio album in their hometown of Glasgow, Scotland in 2020 -- a record made during lockdown. While at first seemingly impossible to make, they ultimately made history with it.

Phil Hoad Guardian It has a purist approach, taking cues from the band’s anti-logorrheic approach by offering only a loose biography and comparatively little by way of analysis. Rated: 3/5 Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle ... the documentary presents a beautiful picture of community surrounding [Mogwai] – and isn’t community what music is meant to create? Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Holly Hazelwood Spectrum Culture This is an attempt to help us understand the band through mood and atmosphere, devoid of interpersonal drama and lacking interest in forcing its members to explain themselves, their art, or their creative processes. Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …while no film could capture the sonic scale of a Mogwai live show, Antony Crook’s film ably provides some definition for a uniquely innovative band that’s famously hard to define… Rated: 5/5 Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
