Since emerging from obscurity in the 1990s with provocative songs such as "Nancy Boy" and "Bruise Pristine", Placebo forged a decidedly unfashionable path through the brazenly macho 'Britpop' scene to explore subjects such as the body politic and the continued erosion of our human rights and our individuality, the ever-growing epidemic of apathy in society and the hubris and corruption of those in power. Placebo seemed to be asking the questions no one else dared to, then dared the individual to find their own answers.

Cath Clarke Guardian This slick unrevealing music documentary about alt rockers Placebo highlights the potential drawbacks of making a film about a band decades after their first flush. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Mildly engaging, but often dull and ultimately forgettable. Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
