It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Went to see this movie at the Cannes Film Festival with my colleague who had never even heard of the band before. We were blown away by the honesty of the movie - absolutely brilliant piece of documentary, following the history of the band, the revolving door of musicians who left, came back, left again and even died. The movie tells it like it is - warts and all, from Chuck Wright's endless bass rig gremlins to Frankie Banali taking charge of the band and on to a singer who can't remember the words of the band's biggest hit. With contributions from long time friend of the band Glenn Hughes, Rudy Sarzo and several other former members, the story is frustrating, hilarious, beautiful, heartbreaking and everything in between. See it!

More than your typical rock documentary, this is an inspirational story of a man who must go on with his life after the sudden and tragic loss of a good friend. Frankie Banali's Quiet Riot story is a poignant and sometimes humorous tale of the struggles reforming his band after the iconic vocalist, Kevin Dubrow's passing. Fantastic footage from the classic era of Quiet Riot interwoven with interviews and Frankie's narration is absolutely captivating. You will love this documentary whether you are a fan of the band or not. Highly recommended !! Looking forward to the release on Blue Ray after watching this documentary on Showtime.

I was very lucky one night I was channel surfing and I caught this movie. I have always been a fan of Quiet Riot's and I was intrigued to see what it was about. This movie was a journey through the history of this band from start to present day. Their many struggles were highlighted as well as their rise to fame. What I didn't expect was to feel Frankie's passion for the band, his music and the fans. This movie captured his raw emotions throughout his journey to make Quiet Riot relevant, and to keep their music alive. His passion for Quiet Riot is really transcending and almost contagious. If you are a fan of this band or music in general you will find this movie well worth your time. It is a blend of life's struggles and success mixed in with the right amount of humor. Enjoy!!

It all started in the late 70's. Quiet Riot started their rise to fame and made glam metal popular. They peaked in 1983 with the release of Metal Health, the first heavy metal album that topped the billboard charts. The album spawned two metal anthems in Cum On Feel The Noise and Bang Your Head. From there it was a long and winding road filled with ups and downs and lots of line up changes.Quiet Riot: Well Now Your Here, There's No Way Back is the story of The rise, fall and the rebirth of Quiet Riot. In 2007 their lead singer Kevin DuBrow passed away ending the career of the metal band that started the hair band movement of the eighties. In 2010, at a cross roads in his life, Quiet Riot's drummer Frankie Banali restarted the band. This documentary chronicles Frankie Banali's efforts to go forward with his career and life.I'm a huge fan of hard rock and heavy metal from the seventies and eighties but I was never a big fan of Quiet Riot. I love documentaries though and I decided to give this one a shot. Well Now Your Here, There's No Way Back is one of the best music documentaries that I've seen. While watching this movie I found myself wanting to laugh, cry and cheer.I laughed when I saw the band members try to remember all the people who have been in the band over the years and their efforts to find a new singer. I felt like crying when I heard the story of Kevin's death and seeing Frankie deal with it along with the death of his mother and wife. I also wanted to cheer when I saw Quiet Riot putting together a great show in front of a big crowd after all the problems they had. This movie will give you a new appreciation for Quiet Riot and show you how hard a rock band works to stay alive when it seems like the world is against them.Even if I wasn't a fan of 80's music, I would have loved this documentary. The director Regina Russell did an excellent job of showing Frankie Banali's efforts to keep his dreams alive and how hard it can be. You see his ups and downs and by the end of the movie you feel like you know him. This is a movie that you don't want to miss and I hope it has some great extras when it comes out on DVD.
