Leave your thoughts about Soul Boys of the Western World.
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreStandard issue band history doc, but it smartly finds depth in a particularly shallow era in pop. |
| Empire MagazineIan FreerA funny, absorbing, trivia-filled portrait of friendship, the '80s music biz and bad hair. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyThe salad days thrill; after the rush has gone, the comedown is surprisingly moving. |
| Chicago ReaderDrew HuntThis has the quality of an illustrated oral history, though the incessant nostalgia and revisionist history are exhausting. |
| Under the RadarAustin Trunick[Soul Boys] does a fantastic job explaining the youth movement that birthed the New Romantic genre. |
| The ListJames MottramThis trawl through the band's history has enough guile and guts to keep you watching. |
| Radio TimesAndrew CollinsOnly deep-seated musical snobbery would hinder enjoyment of this definitive, authorised, fastidious,and perhaps overlong telling of the Spandau Ballet story ... |
| User ReviewAdam T***** Excellent This poor boy from the eastern world was absolutely enamored with the Spandau Ballet music documentary "Soul Boys of the Western World" on the infamous 80's New Wave Band. I will definitely musclebound my review with puns; why? Because too cut a long story short, I've lost my mind. Director Hencken lays a strong foundation on the "Soul Boys of the Western World" by showing the childhoods of the five Spandau Ballet members, the origination of the band, their bitter breakup, and their exuberant reformation; not to mention how they incorporated fashion within their music brand. Oh, before I go round and round with this review, let me inform you who is included in this ballet: Tony Hadley, frontman; Gary Kemp, Guitar and Main Songwriter; Martin Kemp, Bass and Gary's Brother; Steve Norman, Sax & Guitars; and John Keeble, Drums. My instinction of the documentary was that it was going to be a great one, and boy was it gold. You really don't have to be a Spandau Ballet aficianado to enjoy it, but it sure does help; especially as you see the band members move in through the barricades within their own personal challenges. Make sure that in your lifeline, you watch "Soul Boys of the Western World". It is one of the best, if not the best, music documentary I have ever seen. And of course, this much is true. You will love it and not only when you leave after seeing it. |
| User ReviewBarry TA very well made documentary about the ups and downs of the band Spandau Ballet. Its very insightful asnd well made. Fame isnt always good news. |
| User ReviewElizabeth MI was always right about S/B they were a bunch of posing prats |
