Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Frank Longley This is one of my favorite movies. Excellent camera work, excellent sound (which, if you're going to do a movie about a band, please get the sound right--and they do).I do wish it would have followed up a little more on Jay Bennett, however. While he's not the most likable guy in the world, I feel like he got a bit short-shrifted in the end. Which is a shame, because he obviously at one time meant a lot to the band on a personal level.The scenes of Wilco in the studio are fantastic, however. The shows suffer a little bit from limited camera angles, but the songs totally rock.Great movie, even better on DVD (lots and lots of extras).

erikbirdman The splattered coverage of Wilco on film made for a entertaining viewing experience.Wilco are clearly a hard working band who make music that matters to them.Whether or not that had anything to do with Jay Bennet's departure is unclear.But,bands have problems.And when it's recorded to film it makes you watch a little closer.The commentary on the DVD was surprisingly funny as well.Let us just see if their next album is as good as their last,considering,all that has happened.

timnil This is a documentary about the roots-rock band Wilco and the trials and tribulations they suffered in the production of their 2002 CD `Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.' Initially given a good deal of support by their record label (Reprise) Wilco strayed from their previous country folk-rock sound to embrace more experimental studio techniques and used synthesizers and strings to flesh out their sound. Their suits at Reprise balked at this sea-change and eventually refused to release the record and booted the band from the label. While all of this is going on the band is suffering internal strife as one of the members is let go with acrimony. The story of Wilco's last album has become legendary in the music world and this documentary, shot in grainy black and white tells the story and portrays the band and its leader Jeff Tweedy in a sympathetic light. Tweedy is shown as the disheveled genius musician pushing the art forward while the greedy evil corporate executives attempt to thwart him. It's nice to see the band triumph in the end, and the film does throw some light on the pressure that is undergone to make a record for a major label as well as showing some of the seedier sides of the music business as flaks on both sides beat their chest and trumpet their side of the story. (Rating: 7 out of 10)

airfigaro This picture is a must see for any Wilco fan, and I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen if possible. Besides the great concert and 'in process' recording footage, it has great art direction and cinematography. If you're a fan, you already know the stroy; Band makes record, band gets rejected by label, bands fires member, band tours, band gets label, critics love band. Interesting behind the scenes stuff that doesn't make you want to ralph like watching that stupid VH-1 show.
