- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The first-time director, Doug Pray, doesn't linger long on anything, but the movie is so crisply and intelligently edited that you never feel you're being rushed through it."
-
"A smart look at an important musical event that featured a lot of great music almost as a by-product."
-
"Interesting chronicle of an extraordinarily fertile local music community and what happens when its talent becomes a worldwide commodity overnight."
-
"Four years ago, Seattle was where the home of the Space Needle. Now it's a rock 'n' roll mecca: You may ask yourself -- how did we get here? And filmmaker Doug Pray has an answer."
-
"The movie depicts a Seattle that is a good deal more complex -- and fun -- than the one that survives in most media overviews, a welcome antidote to woe-is-Kurt nostalgia."
-
"[A] brisk, funny, scrupulously well-researched documentary."
