Just perfect...

Captivating movie !

The first must-see film of the year.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

You hear stories about unrealized potential and wasted talent... But the Fishbone story is about realized talent reaching full potential and elevating music beyond record company categories, labels and musical genres. Even as teenagers these guys were amazing musicians! Sadly, as Angelo says, "money does matter..." But he says this after 25 years of struggle and ultimately, record sales and revenues are how success is measured.Fishbone offered the world a tremendous gift in the most honest and creative way possible, unfortunately the world just didn't understand it or wasn't ready for it.Chris, Lev, this is one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen. Beautiful, sad, inspiring and so f**king real! I know I'll watch it again... In the meantime, all Fishbone is back on my everyday play list.

I had only heard about Fishbone because I knew my favorite bands were heavily influenced by them (311, The Urge, etc...). However, I've become a huge fan and seeing this movie makes you really respect them for everything they've done for the music industry. It's so inspiring as an aspiring musician to see a band that has stayed true to themselves and their fans and never sold out, despite their successors like the Chili Peppers becoming superstars. The movie does a great job depicting the Fishbone story showing highs, lows, infighting, their views on the industry, and looks into their personal lives. To sum it up, the reason I love this movie and Fishbone so much is because they define success as being original, not fame. Mr. Anderson did a great job of portraying that message.

Fans will appreciate the look inside the band, but even those outside the Fishbone community will enjoy this well-crafted story. Great vintage footage and insightful current interviews that illustrates the band's current struggles. Sure, there's an element of love note to the band in this - I'm not sure a documentary film crew would have tackled such an eclectic topic, even in the post-"Behind the Music" world. But Fishbone's music and struggle deserves to live on, and this documentary takes it all in and presents an excellent package.I caught this film at a film festival, so you're going to have to look and keep in touch with the filmmakers to find out where you can catch this.

Such a treat to learn more about one of the greatest bands ever. The comments from their contemporaries are priceless - and getting to know Angelo and Norwood on such a personal level was so insightful. My only complaint about the movie is it tended to paint a rather bleak picture of the band's existence and didn't focus enough on the great things they've continued to accomplish like their continued success touring in Europe or their album "Still Stuck in your Throat". In fact - this album was skipped altogether - which is sad - as it is a "later career" record - and is surely one of their top 3 of all time. Nonetheless - Fishbone certainly deserves far greater praise and success than they enjoy today. Let us hope this film helps push them higher, as there is no band on the planet more deserving.
