About
Watch if you want a raw, long-running look at rival rock bands and what success can do to relationships and ambition; Not for you if you’re only here for the music or prefer lighter band documentaries like Festival Express or The Sparks Brothers.
Pros: gritty band rivalry; great music energy; candid documentary feel | Cons: drugs and conflict dominate; limited focus on music; some awkward pacing
