The Go-Go's Reviews
The Go-Go’s boasts a treasure chest full of archival content in all shapes and sizes, and the imagery almost always complements the anecdotes told by the subjects with delightful detail.

Intercut with archival footage from the punk days and those M온라인카지노추천 videos, as well as concert footage, the approach adds to the drama.

The Go-Go's are the most successful all-girl group of all time. See, and hear, how they did it.
| Original Score: FIVE STARS | Mar 13, 2022
A compelling look at the most successful female rock band of all time.

The Go-Go's is a punchy, vibrant look at the quintet who stormed punk stages (even if it was just for a minute, Belinda Carlisle was one of The Germs and Gina Schock played drums for Edith Massey) and set pop records.

A refreshing film with some great insight in to instant fame, and the eighties.

That it's hardly groundbreaking or seriously in-depth is likely the source of its charm -- in just under two hours it provides a surprisingly satisfying "Behind the Music"-style survey of the career of a fascinating and criminally underrated band.

Directed by Alison Ellwood, The Go-Go's delivers everything you'd want out of a rock doc.
| Dec 30, 2020
Anyone skeptical of serious musicianship coexisting with pop effervescence should seal their lips upon watching The Go-Go's.

As director Alison Ellwood shows in her briskly entertaining documentary -- The Go-Go's -- the band's members can explain away, with enormous charm, the naked ambition that made them the most successful "girl group" ever.
| Dec 30, 2020
The doc's goal: Don't think of the Go-Go's as a bit of Reagan-era nostalgia, the musical equivalent of a Rubik's cube. Think of them as a first-tier, kick-ass rock group, period, full stop, the end. Mission accomplished.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 30, 2020
"The Go-Go's" is an entertaining and well-put together package on a musical group who should command the respect of their male peers.
| Original Score: B- | Dec 3, 2020
Perhaps this film and the buzz surrounding it can finally deliver the accolades and recognition The Go-Go's so richly deserve.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2020
Even though the Go-Go's story has been told before (and some would say better) on Behind the Music, this documentary is interesting enough, but not essential, for people who want an overall history of the band.
| Aug 13, 2020
The band deserves this fine film.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 11, 2020
Anyone with even a passing interest in the Go-Go's... must watch Alison Ellwood's documentary.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2020
The Go-Go's have not yet been awarded their proper place [in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]... After the world sees Alison Ellwood's splendid documentary, that omission is bound to be put to rights.
| Aug 5, 2020
[Director Alison] Ellwood ultimately shows the group as a proper rock band without the female asterisk; you're left seeing more than some all-female blip in musical history.
| Aug 3, 2020
Watching the film, it's pure pleasure to witness such scrappy exuberance, such mayhem so enthusiastically pursued.
| Aug 3, 2020
Overall, The Go-Go's is an amazing biopic of a band with a great story, chronicling the great stories of the individuals who made it all happen.
