In 2010, rock band The National were about to embark on the biggest tour of their career. After ten years as a band, and five critically acclaimed albums, they were finally enjoying wider recognition. Lead singer Matt Berninger invited his younger brother, Tom, to join the tour's crew. A budding horror filmmaker, Tom - who is nine years younger than Matt and listens exclusively to heavy metal - decided to bring his camera along. Tom's at sea in the world of indie rock, and living in his brother's shadow brings out the younger sibling in him - he drinks, complains, and struggles to balance his ambition with his tour responsibilities. The result is a film about brothers and about making something of your own.
Leave your thoughts about Mistaken for Strangers.
| Film Comment MagazineJonathan RomneyA teasing essay on sibling tensions ... a backdrop for a gonzo self-portrait, a likeably self-deprecating music-biz counterpart to Louis C.K.'s TV shows. |
| Tucson WeeklyBob GrimmA surprisingly different and funny take on life on the road with your little brother. |
| CinemaBlendKristy PuchkoBoth inspiring and profoundly entertaining. |
| SF WeeklyJonathan KieferIt does bring pretense-puncturing hilarity to the expansive sub-genre of rock documentaries. |
| Film ThreatElias SavadaIt's hard to say if Tom Berninger could make another film that clicks like this one, at least one which keeps him out of the frame. Yet, he has made an adorably lumpy movie. Go figure... |
| Irish TimesTara BradyWe loved every minute of Tom's company and his film, right down to Halford's O Holy Night over the closing credits. |
| Radio TimesJamie HealyIt's the scenes detailing Tom's efforts to bring all the material together that demonstrate what he's really capable of, and they give the film a satisfying pay-off. |
| National PostNathalie AtkinsonThe result is at turns aggravating, pathetic and hilarious, a sort of This is Spinal Tap meets American Movie. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsThe film is helplessly, or craftily, scatter-shaped. Molecules fly everywhere: bits of concert footage, bits of serious or This is Spinal Tap -ish interviews; bits - or lots - of Tom existentially imploding. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyAn affecting, hilarious portrait of chalk/cheese sibling love, with a sweet twist: Tom thinks he's a loser, but his film is a winning one-off. |
