ThiefHott Too much of everything

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

felix-felixscaketeria Really bored this evening and decided to watch this documentary which turned out to be both tragic, and heartwarming....bittersweet. It was just heartbreaking to see their journey, with big dreams and great material, turn into their broken dreams which would later inspire thousands of fans and dozens of musical acts. Really beautifully done.

polsixe It seems too much effort to fake a documentary of an unknown band, the old photos, current video, how did they age the actors or de-age them? The music clips and documentary style seem pure HBO/cable it just seems to be an overly serious parody, but there's no humour. Who's heard of this band, it's all so meta it's either brilliant or ridiculous.

Taylormetzer A good watch if you are fond of a bunch of skinny guitar strum mere of the beatnik generation trying to imitate The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. These rockers say F U to the establishment in girly skinny jeans fashion. Features local artists in the 1960's looking to make a world of difference in rockabilly influenced style. Takes place in the late 1960's in the Nixon Vietnam era of U.S. History. I'm not too sure if it includes much of an account of pet sounds or Sgt. Pepper in the likes of the documentary, one can imagine an account of the flower pedal influences in the world would be mentioned in this film. I don't consider the Big Star Story to have much of a spot in U.S. Rock N' Roll history, but some might have a contended thought. Fender and Gibson guitar adores May like this film. It has an array of sound and imagery, but that's enough for me.

juliofantastico Big Star fans will undoubtedly eat this up, and those unfamiliar with the band absolutely should watch it as well. Lots of fantastic interviews with people who were heavily involved with the production of their records, and I am also grateful for a healthy dose of information on Chris Bell (which seems incredibly hard to come by, even in this age). After watching the film I had a hard time figuring out if this film preaches to the converted, or actually makes an attempt to introduce the uninitiated to this incredible band. I thought I knew quite about the band prior to watching this, but after watching this I realize how little I really knew.
