It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This one is for Wilco fans only. And they seem to be a band who doesn't have ANY fans who are halfway in on them, so you should know whether or not you want to view this in advance.The story of Wilco from the days after the release of "Summerteeth" leading up to the recording and release of their follow-up has been discussed to death, so I'm not going to write about that. I will write about how this movie which I just watched again for the first time in over 10 years is pretty well made. The black & white photography gives it more of a "behind-the-scenes" feel as well, which is all good by me.I mostly enjoyed the recording studio and backstage scenes, as that's a slice of rock I'm really not privy to. Watch for some quick glimpses of Dave Pirner (who does NOT seem to age at all) and Gary Louris, along with WXRT's recently retired Frank E. Lee introducing the band.P.S.-I once joked about 8 years ago that Philip Seymour Hoffman should play Jay Bennett when they make a "Wilco biopic". But now that they're both gone, I'll just give 'em both a R.I.P. shout-out here.

A film which is all about the best album of 2002, Sam Jones tells the story of the making of the Wilco album `Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'. Jones had no idea that in the making of this film, Wilco would fire a band member, be dropped by the record label, spend the next year looking for a new label (the joy of this story is that both label were owned by AOL-Time Warner, who essentially paid Wilco for the same album twice), and make one of the greatest albums of the last 3 years. But that's the beauty of this documentary: what begins as a simple story keeps getting tangled up to form one of the best rockumentaries ever made.

Keep in mind that I'm a HUGE fan of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot... I just loved this documentary! The music was, of course, incredible, and the depth of this story made it worthy of being put onto film. It's possible that it's biased against Jay Bennett, but that makes the film even more interesting. I hope this comes out on DVD faster than most documentaries tend to. A+. 10 out of 10. Thumbs Up. 5 out of 5 Stars.

I confess, I like the band. I like them a lot. With that in mind, it was hard for it to fail. What suprised me was the candidness? --of the members. In addition, it was "happening" as you saw it. Unlike the the VH1 gab-feasts from the likes of Poison members tearing up on camera about their struggle of being "accepted" by the music industry elite with 8 million plus albums sales under their belt.Jeff Tweedy seems more than genuine when vomitting in a studio bathroom during the recording of "YFH".So, don't stay at home this Sunday night watching Cher babble on about her "fight" to make it. Instead, drive to the small-out-of-the-way theater in your city that will probably end up showing this film, and enjoy it.
