an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I am a fan of the Minneapolis music scene of the 80s and saw Husker Du perform back in the day, but would not characterize myself as a huge fan. But I am a fan of Gorman Bechard's work so I was curious about his decision to make a film about Grant Hart, especially after seeing Grant in "Color Me Obsessed". I found every moment of this film absolutely fascinating, interesting, and unpredictable. Bechard managed to combine Grant Hart's musical history along with his personal and artistic history in a manner that brings you into the story, but doesn't dwell on anything so long that it becomes boring. Unlike "Color Me Obsessed," there is music and video of the band; my only complaint is that I don't think that enough of it really gave you the sense of what a maelstrom Husker Du were live. I did not realize that Hart had created all the artwork for Husker Du's albums and singles and the descriptions of that process were absolutely fascinating to me, especially in this day and age of Photoshop and digital files. I could have heard him talk about that for hours. I walked out of the film convinced that I needed to see it again, to make sure I didn't miss anything, which is probably the best compliment I could give it.

Greetings,A note on the film. "Every Everything" grew out of my desire to once again, after "Color Me Obsessed, a film about The Replacements," do a different take on the rock doc genre. I am a huge fan of Errol Morris, and love his "Fog Of War" in which he lets one man, and one man only speak for 100 plus minutes. I kept thinking this would be a great format for a rock doc. But what rock star could sustain a 90 minute conversation? What rock star could keep his ego in check, and really open up, really take us on a journey through his life? Now we had already interviewed Grant Hart for "Color Me Obsessed," so I knew he was a great interview. But it wasn't until Grant and I shared a table for breakfast in Brussels (when both he and "Color Me" were playing the same Minneapolis homage show) that I knew he would be the perfect subject for this format. Not only had he seen and done almost everything in rock and roll, he possesses a brilliant mind, and he's a great freakin' story-teller.But even I and my co-producer Jan Radder would hardly be prepared for the brilliance Grant brought to the table during our couple of weeks of filming in the Twin Cities. He laid it all on the line, and hopefully I have done his story justice.Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for hopefully seeking out the film.Gorman Bechard director/editor

This movie gives an amazing insight into the life and mind of ex Husker Du drummer/singer Grant Hart. Hart is in pretty much every frame of the movie but is never dull or boring. He's a fascinating complex character and his music used shows what an underrated and talented songwriter he is. Filling a movie with one subject like this could be problematic at times but the director gives us the feel of actually sitting with Grant, you feel a connection with him and at times his honesty really knocks you back. I would recommend this movie to anyone with a love of great rock music or an interest into the workings of a true artist.

I've been a huge Husker Du fan since 1989 so sadly missed out on getting to see them live but watching this movie about the less celebrated songwriter Grant Hart (who has lived in the shadow of Bob Mould since the band split in 1988) felt special and exciting.Grant Hart is without doubt a true artist, an intellectual and a great songwriter and musician. In interviews I've read from Hart since Husker split there often seems to be a bitterness towards Mould albeit expressed in a very poetic way but interestingly in the film he seems largely positive about his old hardcore comrade.The film is lovingly put together and excellently crafted and combines lots of Husker footage with a look right through his career. Hart has an outsiders perspective on life and is a rugged individualist but his sweetness comes through in the film when he expresses sadness at his past drug problems and he beautifully describes how the spirit of his mother lives on and what Patti Smith means to him whom he calls a goddess.Hart also reaches out to Mould saying lets 'forget 1987' (when things got bad) giving us hope of a Husker reunion one day. I do hope so! I was lucky enough to see the London premiere of this film in Piccadilly today and there was a Q & A with Gorman the director afterwards. A great guy and clearly a big fan of both Husker and the Replacements who has a very warm regard for Grant Hart.Overall this is an excellent document of the life and times of Grant Hart and redresses the balance in the post-Husker world which has been Mould dominated. More importantly it will stand as a legacy to Hart long after he has gone. Well done Gorman.
