Leave your thoughts about MC5: A True Testimonial.
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitIntelligently combines rarely shown film, TV news, home footage, stills and interviews in a complete package. |
| Boston GlobeJoan AndermanMC5 is everything a rockumentary should be and usually isn't. Then again, MC5 was everything a rock band should be and usually isn't. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWide-ranging and beautifully edited -- it's a vivid evocation of a moment when even the ugliest guitar feedback could be taken as a serious political statement. |
| Film ScoutsJason GorberThe flick is pretty straight forward and somewhat boring, but it's nice to see the attempt. |
| Village VoiceLaura SinagraBravely bucks the "Behind the Music" arc, conveying a reality of constant flux, a sense of the band being jerked in many different directions. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey...captures the gritty charisma of Detroit as it informed the quirky and colorful personalities of a band that many fans still remember today. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyLike the band itself, the movie is loud and noisy and undeniably eye-catching. But like them, too, it fatally can't see beyond the immediate to realize there's a better way of making its point then simply shouting louder than anyone else. |
| Boxoffice MagazineKevin CourrierThomas unearths fabulous TV and home-movie footage of the group, and his interviews with the band capture the sense of loss. |
| User ReviewDr. AIt may be the greatest rock documentary I've ever seen. Words cannot express the intensity with which this doc was produced. Packed with adrenaline. In your face interviewes that have absolutely no comparison with afterbirth copycat musicians. Never before seen footage. History being told. A true testimonial. |
| User ReviewSi ENever officially released due to a legal dispute between the producers and Wayne Kramer - Wayne says his role was that of 'Music Advisor' forthe film, the producers say "Hey, the music's already out there dude", Wayne says "Screw you guys" and sues for 'unlawful use' of the music, thereby kerbing the chances of thousands of fans actually getting to see this astounding documentary. And I do not use the word 'astounding' lightly, as this is THEE best music doc in existence (and I've seen a helluva lot of others...). Take your finger out your arse, Wayne!!! Everyone else, track down a bootleg. |
