Critic Reviews

Louis R. Carlozo

As Nirvana's Kurt Cobain acknowledges in the opening quote, without the Pixies there would be no "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Read full review

Shawn Levy

It's a lively, charming film, and if it gave us a little more of the band's history, it would be perfect. As it is, it's a perfect introduction to some great songs and fascinating characters. Read full review

Scott Tobias

The documentary dashes any lingering hope that Pixies would ever record a new album, even though it makes no definitive statement to that effect. Read full review

Nathan Lee

Boring people who made extraordinary music, the Pixies are inexplicable. In attempting to demystify them, the directors Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin achieve the opposite. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Apparently fit and reasonably trim, Deal's honesty touches a nerve that the band's music only gnawed on back in the day. Read full review

Justin F. Farrar

Ty Burr

I love the band to death but was a little disappointed with the beige treatment. If the film is an attempt to show how four quite average, normal people made a new kind of rock music then it is an outrageous success. But one gets the sense there was a lot of more interesting material left I love the band to death but was a little disappointed with the beige treatment. If the film is an attempt to show how four quite average, normal people made a new kind of rock music then it is an outrageous success. But one gets the sense there was a lot of more interesting material left out, or that the producers did not have the full confidence of the band. As a result, they switched themselves on only when onstage.… Expand
