🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Simon Emmess constructs the narrative, relying on a wealth of archival concert footage and candid present-day interviews to explore the fragile nature of fame and the complex dynamics of a band. It builds its story around the personal journeys of each member, revealing the human cost behind the glamour.

What lingers after the final chord is a surprisingly poignant tale of brotherhood, hubris, and redemption, proving that some comebacks are worth the wait. — MovieFinder Editorial
