Since their explosive breakout album in 2000, At the Drive-In--and then as their next incarnation, The Mars Volta--have fearlessly redefined the progressive rock genre. Fronted by Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala, two outsiders from El Paso, their unique style seamlessly fused jazz, punk rock, latin influences and experimental sounds into something utterly electrifying. But their immense artistic success gave way to deep personal fissures that ended their musical partnership in 2013, and inflicted wounds that would take more than a decade to heal. Culled from hundreds of hours of footage filmed by Omar over the past 40 years, OMAR AND CEDRIC: IF THIS EVER GETS WEIRD charts the duo's intense and profound journey as they navigate success, addiction, tragedy, betrayal, forgiveness and, ultimately, redemption.

Pat Mullen POV Magazine The film has 40 years of material at its disposal. It seems that Davies, for better and for worse, uses every frame of it. Jan 11, 2025 Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin An inside story about the musical duo behind the progressive post-punk bands, At The Drive In and The Mars Volta, Omar and Cedric is exhausting and original. Rated: B-plus Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Stephen Silver Living Life Fearless A lot of music documentaries these days look exactly like every other, but that’s certainly not the case with this one.
