Honest & Funny!
Rock music is not my kinda thing, but who was I to argue when I was given free tickets to see a preview of this rockumentary!
And in fact, it wasn't really about the music, it was about the band being together for so long & never really hitting the big time & the struggle they still face to get back onto the scene.
It was also quite funny. Worth a watch even if the band are not to your musical taste. -

...next year's Oscar for best documentary goes to...
While documentaries are typically fairly dry affairs, Anvil was a wonderfully touching story that works on many levels.
The two main characters, ageing heavy metal musicians now in their fifties, have been performing together since they were fourteen. This makes for a wonderful exploration of the relationship between two men whose metal persona should be 'hard', but are actually both very sensitive.
If this film doesn't move you, check to see if your heart is still beating. -
