TOTAL FILM \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis unflinching portrait of the prog rock band is like an episode of The Office but with huge drum kits, grizzled roadies and rapturous fans\u201d THE GUARDIAN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s about the burden of dreams and the misery of making art. It’s very accessible, very moving, and very funny\u201d MARK KERMODE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy turns comical and melancholy, it may be the most revealing film about working life in a band since Spinal Tap.\u201d THE TELEGRAPH<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoc about a Prog-Rock Perfectionist Is Nearly Perfect Itself. About as good as Rock documentaries get.\u201d VARIETY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe film is angular and abrasive, exacting and playful, extremely funny and achingly melancholy.\u201d THE OBSERVER<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA quietly fascinating film about lingering wounds and unresolved tensions, both creative and personal\u201d 7\/10 Classic Rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNCUT \u2013 9\/10 \u201cRevelatory\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIlluminating. A fascinating look at both a venerable institution, the dynamics of working as a multi-limbed unit that\u2019s ruled by a single iron fist, and what it takes to play this type of music.\u201d ROLLING STONE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA compelling insight into the tetchy men of prog rock. Their dedication to music is a joy, the persistence of Toby Amies ranks alongside Nick Broomfield. Even if you go in knowing next to nothing about King Crimson, you will leave feeling like lifelong enthusiasts. BBC RADIO SCOTLAND \/ RADIO TIMES, Siobhan Synnot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

charming and inspirational, living as a strong, independent woman in a crushing patriarchy.”<\/p>\n

Film Threat<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have never seen a film that succeeded more completely in stripping the romantic and mythic aura from organised crime<\/p>\n
