Leave your thoughts about The Tragically Hip - Long Time Running.
| Georgia StraightKen EisnerFacing fear is what drives this event, and the movie, forward. And for viewers, this provides both inspiration and a certain predictability. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakMaybe a documentary about The Hip's fandom will come in the future, but right now the story that matters most is the band's tragic yet empowering dissolution. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerIn the end - and this may well be the end - Long Time Running is about perseverance, both the band's and Downie's. |
| Toronto SunJane StevensonHip fans will enjoy not only the behind-the-scenes footage of Downie getting ready for each night's show on the trek but the entire group's collective memory of their 30-year personal and professional journey. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonBut it's the unsteady, un-Hip-like lurching-from hallowed career-retrospective, to cross-country concert-doc, to one-last-success story, to farewell love-letter-that makes this no show-stopper. |
| User ReviewErika DWonderful. Sad. A must-see for every Canadian. |
| User ReviewEwan BAn emotional send off for a great man who fronted a great band. I can think of no other band or musician who is held in such high esteem by their country in the unique way that the Hip and Gord Downie were elevated to hero status in Canada. |
| User ReviewTrent GA a state-side fan of "The Hip", this film not only satisfies on many levels but it thrusts on the age old story of determination in the face of unthinkable odds. Famous beyond words band (in the home country), Terminal Cancer and live rock music for adoring fans. What more could anyone ask for. This might be one of the more unique and gut-wrenching stories ever told..... |
