Leave your thoughts about Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone.
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA wonderful celebration of Fishbone's spirit. It's one of the best rock docs I've ever seen. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottOddly, though, Everyday Sunshine ends up being a mostly optimistic tale. That's because, despite it all, Fishbone is still gigging. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsIt's not just the story of Fishbone--it's the story of creating art, living with oneself, living with others, and moving on with things. |
| OregonianStan HallFilled with personal vignettes and famous-people testimonials, the film has a few too many narrative digressions, but it's a moving portrait of all-too-human personalities and the dogged optimism that keeps them going. |
| Boston PhoenixScott FaynerThe pinnacle comes when Kendall rejoins them for an impromptu gig, stirring hope for a return to glory. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonHold on to your hats for a heartwarming look into the private lives and public outrage of Fishbone, the critical mass that refuses to melt down. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe best thing about Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone is that it really is the story of Fishbone. It's a hearty, thoughtful, smartly assembled, vaguely complete documentary about a rock band that, even by the standards of out-there musical acts, seemed out there both in the mid-1980s and even now. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleUnless you're a fan of Fishbone, Everyday Sunshine is probably just a documentary about a band you've never heard of, whose music you probably will not like. But there's a bigger and more interesting subject at work in this film. It's a movie about what it's like to almost make it in the music business, but not really, not quite. It's about coming close and watching it slip away. |
| HeraldNet (Everett, WA)Robert HortonTo hear the soaring craziness of Fishbone's "Sunless Saturday" is to wonder how such musical inspiration could possibly miss. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesEven as a hagiography, though, it's pretty interesting. |
