    As a Pixie's fan it is an exciting film to watch, but from a documentary standpoint the film is lacking in both footage and composition.

    A documentary about the legendary alternative rock band?s 2004 reunion tour. There are some really good musical performances here, but the real focus is on what?s going on backstage as the band tries to get their act together and get through this tour. Reunion situations don?t ...( read more)always get covered, which makes this fairly unique. I did get the feeling that some of the drama was manufactured in the editing room, but this is still pretty interesting. The production is not the best, but it?s never bad, although it makes sence that this went straight to video. It?s no Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, and there?s not too much to appeal to non-fans, but it is still an interesting look at the band circa 2004.

    Le meilleur documentaire que j'ai vu! Meilleurs que Jeux de puissance!

    Pixies fans will get a kick out of the band's (lack of) chemistry and motivation. Most others should stay away. Not really enough turns to sustain a feature documentary.

    About the Pixies 2004 reunion tour. Good, but not enough history and dirt!! I think there is another film that covers that stuff. I'll look into it!

    Shirtless Frank Black doing positive affirmations. Kim Deal reading the book about herself. And one of my favorite closing-credit sequences of all time.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

The 85-minute documentary takes a torpid, fly-on-the-wall approach, providing little context, few insights, and not enough music. full review
