The shrewd visual trickery and sleight-of-hand editing that collapse the distance between the original series’ zero-budget aesthetic and this more comfortably subsidized version can’t actually erase the passage of time. If anything, they deepen it.

A thrilling, roof-shaking blast.

Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is so affable, so good-natured, so modest—just so gosh-darned charming—that it’s difficult not to crack at least a little bit of a smile while watching it.

Rated: B

This duo has always asked the question of, “What if Nathan Fielder was an ambitious band kid?” and in this movie we get our answer through Tom Cruise-esque stunts and ridiculous moments of self-reflection and self-parody in the same breath.

As a Canadian who discovered their original web series in high school, I felt my sense of humor shaped and refined by their antics—and seeing them expand that energy into a feature-length movie that both fans and newcomers can enjoy was exhilarating.

Flickering Myth

Its mix of outrageous humour, funny character beats, and thoughtful editing, earns its place as one of the year’s best comedies.

Rated: 4/5
