robin7716 This movie rocks. No, really it literally rocks. Lydia's amazing talent is reason enough to see this movie but the behind the scenes look into an upcoming star is fascinating, funny and moving. Gorman does an excellent job of showing how this unlikely cast of characters came together to make some truly inspirational music. Lydia's talent is clearly the driving force behind the band but it is very interesting to see each members roll and how they have become a family. The concert footage is some of the best I have ever seen. It Makes you want to jump in a car and follow Lydia around. There is also some great comic relief from the band mates and animation. Bottom line, Lydia is a bad ass and this movie is a must see for all music lovers.
Ron Scott I'll be honest – I attended the screening in Raleigh for the solo performance after the movie. At live shows, Lydia's amazing vocals are often overwhelmed by the mix of her band, so eight hours of travel was well worth hearing her solo. I was initially skeptical of a movie about her – at just 25 years old, exactly how do you fill almost two hours of screen time??? But I came away really impressed. The movie is extremely well constructed, with artifices and devices that move the story in an interesting way. The scrapbook motif was brilliant, although the "super heroes" could have been left on the cutting room floor. Even if you have no idea who Lydia Loveless is (your loss), this movie is put together in a way that will draw you in.
whmacdougall-73925 The documentary answers the question as we meet this young and interesting singer. We are exposed to the highs and lows of life on the road and the complexity of her personality. I enjoyed seeing the creative process unfold combined with angst that usually goes, but rarely seen, among creative people. I hadn't a clue who she was prior to seeing this film at the Boston International Film Festival; now i know and i suspect that we will see more of her. The film makers take us on a brilliant visual trip that lets us enter the world of these brilliant musicians.
charles Oney I loved this documentary for baring all the Heat & Soul and Warts and all of Lydia. I was pleasantly surprise on how each band member was featured & how much they contribute to the overall sound and spirit of Lydia Loveless the band. They fellow musicians are not only talented in their own right, but downright Funny!! Lydia herself was quite candid in this documentary and you get to see what makes her tick, come along for the ride in the songwriter process and party after the show with the band. One thing I did learn for sure from this documentary is that you cannot put Lydia Loveless in a box, she will scratch & kick her way out of it. A Must watch for true Rock N Roll Fans and for those of us who keep hoping for a Carson Drew Reunion.Coney
