Movie Reviews

Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob Thomasa penetrating and moving documentary that captures what was weird and special about Murphy and his band, and was extra weird and special about his decision to kill the band.
ComingSoon.net - 9/10 by Edward DouglasThe type of celebratory nail in their coffin that makes the end feel more like a party than a funeral.
Film4 - 8/10 by Catherine BrayA must for fans of LCD Soundsystem and about fifteen minutes too long for anyone else, this is an entertaining enough exploration of walking away from success and fear of failure.
Contactmusic.com - 8/10 by Rich ClineWill have a much stronger resonance for fans than for those unfamiliar with the band's music. But even newcomers will find the exploration of fame and artistry unusually personal
Digital Spy - 8/10 by David MoynihanTrue to the live experience - taking in tears, joy, sweat and humor - of one of the most influential and acclaimed bands of a generation.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Marc LeeSouthern and Lovelace skilfully interweave footage of the wondrous, thunderous racket of the gig with Murphy's morning-after reflections on why he bailed out at the height of his success ...
Total Film - 8/10 by Stephen KellyNot only a sad farewell to a great band, but to life as Murphy knows it.
The List - 8/10 by Phoebe CookA fitting tribute to a band that has somehow become emblematic of our times.
NPR - 8/10 by Ian BuckwalterIn one of the film's most fascinating moments, Klosterman asks Murphy what his biggest failure was. After uncomfortably dodging the question at first, Murphy admits that the only thing he thinks he might regret is quitting.
indieWire - 8/10 by Eric KohnIf you've never heard of LCD Soundsystem or cared much for the group's work, Shut Up and Play the Hits still manages to explore the prospects of fame and contemporary rock music's lasting relevance.
