This is an excellent document of a band in turmoil.The intensity grows throughout film and becomes something you did not expect. Its not just a 'run of the mill' band 'rockumentary', it is something else.
The music is incredible. I think Wilco work best as a live band and their spirit is somewhat diluted on record, records which are ,perhaps a little to overproduced. The live acoustic stuff from Jeff Tweedy is so good, that i find it strange they choose to make big elaborate sounding records. This is really good, if you are a fan you have probably already seen it, if not rent and discover an amazing band.
The most compelling, incredible 'rock doc' I have ever seen. This film is a must see to anyone with more than a passing interest in music. Humerous, emotional, involving, it has all the qualities of a drama but with the knowledge that this is 'real life' brings this film even closer. I defy anyone who watches this not to become a Wilco fan for life. Thankfully there are still bands around like this.
