Pedalling a retro sound and unoriginal look, a wave of bands--Powder, Menswear, Salad, Suede, Elastica and occasionally bands with more than one word in their name--were catapulted into the limelight ..

  Mediocre documentary charting '90s Britpop. It lazily references rather than successfully explores influential bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Massive ... read more »

  Not that funny
  
  The blurb on this film said - a series of hilarious interviews - with the people that made Britpop happen. I didn't find them that funny at all. Remember ... read more »

  Insightful Rockumentary
  
  I did find this interesting but it was too narrowy focussed on the battle between Blur and Oasis. What about other britpop bands like Elastica, Sleeper, ... read more »

  Too Close to Call
  
  I'm afraid that this era is too close to analyse. There are many points of view in the film but they are too close to the subject to give a real picture. ... read more »

  Brit Pop-Tastic
  
  A great rockumentary harking back to when we, if only for a couple of years ruled the airwaves and Britain was under that feel good factor of 1996.

  A britpop film that just misses bullseye.
