-seven Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This film has finally been released. I watched it twice in two days (cable TV On Demand). Has anyone else seen it? Thoughts:I loved it, although I'm not exactly sure why. *laughs* It is very much a documentary without a lot of source material for its subject. It is mostly interviews with people "around" the band, and musicians who are fans. There is very little film of the band. Mostly still photos, etc, but it is very creatively done. I did not learn much that I did not already know. However, the enthusiasm of those who were interviewed, from musicians (e.g. Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter), and also rock journalists who talk about how hearing the music was "life-changing", echoed my own feelings about Big Star. Interviews with Chris Bell's brother and sister were especially poignant. Thank you! We just checked it out. Really interesting story. I'm happy to have caught up a bit about them.
