About
You may like this if you want a gritty punk road movie with dry humor and bruised friendships, especially near 24 Hour Party People; Not for you if you expect light satire like Fear of a Black Hat.
Pros: raw punk energy; believable band dynamics; sharp road humor | Cons: dry Canadian references; not broad comedy; bleak emotional tone
