The Lips have built a loyal cult following, and the film -- compiled from footage taken over 15 years -- attempts to satisfy that cult, as well as interest those unfamiliar with the band, by including a combination of performance footage and candid moments. The director was allowed full access to Wayne Coyne and the other members of the band. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
Will please devotees without attracting many, if any, new converts.
-
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Wildly entertaining.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
So darn watchable that it could turn someone who never heard of the Flaming Lips into a devoted fan.
-
Dana Stevens, New York Times
Bradley Beesley's intimate documentary traces the two-decade career of the Flaming Lips, a seminal art-rock band from Oklahoma City.
-
Dennis Lim, Village Voice
As artfully scrappy and likably wide-eyed as its subjects.
