In the 1990s, alternative rock band Luxury is rocketing toward fame when a bus crash shakes each member to his core. Today, three of those members are Eastern Orthodox priests, and they're preparing to record a new album.

Going from thrashy misfit evangelicals to mellow, middle-aged liturgists is still a transition, and a reasonably interesting one, if not as radical a conversion as the... transformation the movie initially sets you up for.

It ultimately has little to offer to the uninitiated and mainly comes across as a sort of promotional video, although its usefulness even in that regard is likely to be limited.

...an eye-opening and periodically spellbinding documentary...

The film follows a Behind the Music style as we learn the backstories of the band members that provides a rich texture.

Hinton shows a flair for the camera and despite being incredibly close to the story still manages to produce a relatively balanced account and perhaps he is perfectly placed to tell this somewhat unbelievable story.

Rated: 4/5

Parallel Love is exactly what it says it is: a slight, diverting story of a band called Luxury, that happens to have some rockin' priests in it.

Rated: 6/10

A great and compelling story about a great and compelling band. Very well done. I'm a long time fan, but I believe the documentary is so well done that even someone who was unfamiliar with the band would be drawn in.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I thought it wasn't Christian music and the music (and film) was better than I expected it to be. They should have gone mainstream. They would have been successful as a non-Christian band. I will buy their next album and go back and listen to the rest of their music. Now I am intrigued with them. Paul in Minneapolis
