Boom: A Film About The Sonics (2018) “The spirit of BOOM is as righteous and undeniable as Gerry Roslie's howl. ” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Resynator (2024) 100% “A heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting portrait of a troubled genius...” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 10, 2024 Full Review In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50 (2022) 95% “Music as beautiful, thorny, and enduring as King Crimson's could only happen under these maddening circumstances. Are you willing to pay such a severe psychic price for artistic immortality?” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band (2019) 84% “For fans of the Band, this film will inspire tears of sorrow and joy, if not rage. Now more than ever, their music stirs emotions with a profundity that feels religious, but without the stench of sanctimony.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Rolling Stone: Life and Death of Brian Jones (2019) “Whatever camp you're in, you'll leave the theater feeling dismayed about Jones's fate, more than five decades after the fact.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Strange Negotiations (2019) 100% “Bazan emerges from Strange Negotiations as a formidable spokesman for lapsed Christianity, and he deserves our respect for risking his livelihood to deliver these important messages.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Say Amen, Somebody (1982) 92% “Regardless if you're the staunchest skeptic, you can't help getting swept away by Ford Smith's ebullience.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool (2019) 91% “It's about as rewarding a dissection of a great artist and problematic human as one could hope for in under two hours.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 30, 2019 Full Review Lords of Chaos (2018) 73% “Sheer cinematic sadism” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Blaze (2018) 95% “Blaze does what good biopics should do: spur enough interest in the movie's subject as to make viewers explore them in greater depth.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Betty: They Say I'm Different (2017) 67% “Betty is crucial to any fan who desires a deeper understanding of this pioneering female funk auteur.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Milford Graves Full Mantis (2018) 83% “The overall lack of context and information may leave the uninitiated adrift. But what an adventure awaits those bold enough to enter the film's esoteric realm.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Italo Disco Legacy (2018) “A high tolerance for cheesiness is almost mandatory to enjoy it; grumpy types may not understand all the fuss, but... Italo Disco Legacy will give you a greater understanding of this niche style's enduring charm.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Here to Be Heard: The Story of the Slits (2017) 70% “Badgley's scrappy, heartfelt portrait mirrors his subject's DIY aesthetic with a true fanatic's intensity.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda (2017) 98% “Philosophical insights as well as footage of Sakamoto's far-flung field-recording trips, his love for Andrei Tarkovsky's work, and him scoring films for impulsive directors reveal an ingenious musician still questing for new ideas.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 31, 2018 Full Review Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami (2017) 87% “Musical insights are scarce, however, as are observations about the film's subject from her band members... Nevertheless, the concert footage and Grace's dazzling costumes compensate for these voids.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Maria Bamford: Old Baby (2017) 100% “Never have I laughed so hard while simultaneously wincing as when I viewed Old Baby.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jan 5, 2018 Full Review Heart of a Dog (2015) 96% “[Heart of a Dog] is an achingly beautiful documentary.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review We Are Twisted F...ing Sister! (2014) 80% “If one sign of a great music documentary is to sway people who are apathetic toward the subject to care about it, then Andrew Horn's We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! probably fails.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review DIG! (2004) 89% “As tempest-in-a-teapot music documentaries go, Dig! is entertaining-especially if you like the good psychedelic-rock groups Brian Jonestown Massacre and/or the Dandy Warhols.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents (2015) 75% “Theory of Obscurity revels in the paradox of this most notorious band of unknowns while poking at the embers of the myth.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Miss Sharon Jones! (2015) 91% “You should make room in your callous heart for director Barbara Kopple's Miss Sharon Jones!” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Gimme Danger (2016) 95% “Gimme Danger is a powerful, if not totally raw, portrait of rock and roll's purest Dionysian spirit.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 22, 2017 Full Review I'm Not Fascinating (1996) “I'm Not Fascinating is the sort of cult film you'd expect from one of the founders of irreverent-to-the-max Detroit music zine Motorbooty.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 21, 2017 Full Review Goodnight Brooklyn: The Story of Death by Audio (2016) 57% “What makes Goodnight Brooklyn more interesting than most stories of its ilk, however, is the lethal irony at its core.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 21, 2017 Full Review
