To me, this movie is perfection.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen, and I've seen a boat load. A great behind the scenes, warts and all profile of Quiet Riot from the late seventies until the present time. Frankie Banali has put together a no holds barred look at the struggles of a fledgling band, then superstar million selling band and then back to the bars band, all over the last 35 years or so. Lots of behind the scenes dealings with the inner workings of an iconic touring rock band. They go back to the Randy Rhoads years through the Kevin DuBrow years and the struggles to find a proper replacement for lead singer, as DuBrow had some pretty big shoes to fill. Through it all, Banali steadfastly maintains his integrity in looking for the right singer. You'll want to stick around for the ending. One of the few rock docs worthy of repeated viewings. (The Foo Fighters one is another).

This movie left me with interesting feelings;I think Frankie is a great drummer, and QR had a few good tunes (mostly cover tunes).After watching the movie I wanted Frankie to give up on the QR theme and join another classic rock band. He's a great drummer.I was in Grade 9 when QR hit it big. It was pretty amazing that a metal band hit it big in 1983, but QR didn't have the songwriting to back it up at all.This movie is pretty much a rip-off of the Anvil movie. They spent way too much time showing the awful singers replacing Dubrow.

While helpful to be a fan of 80's Heavy Metal and/or have lived through that time, where the film really succeeds is that isn't necessary. In fact the film will give you great insight and downright introduce you to the genre and if you don't finish the film at the very least fascinated you don't have a pulse. The story of Quiet Riot is an important one, not just within Heavy Metal circles, but any musician that's ever made a stab of making a living with their craft can relate & will be inspired. The film itself is really about relationships & how crucial they are to making a band unit work. Director Regina Russell's dedication to getting raw, unflinching interviews from the captain of the ship drummer Franki Banali pays dividends to reveal the true power behind the will to keep rawking. Bang your head!

You don't have to be a fan of Heavy Metal to get into the story of Quiet Riot. The movie has characteristics of some of the greatest underdog stories that have stayed with us for generations . Can you relate to when "Rocky" went the distance with" Apollo Creed "??? Well, once upon a time, the genre of Heavy Metal finally got the respect it deserved . . and it was Quiet Riot that was at the head of the class, first in line to break down the barricades. I am a musician and music lover of many genres, and if you are a survivor of Anything you fought for, believed in, and ultimately refused to give up on...then this movie is your story too.
