About This Movie

Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph through their wild journey in the indie rock scene. It’s got this gritty feel, like you’re peeling back the layers of their sound and their turbulent relationships. The pacing is relaxed yet engaging, blending old footage with interviews that reveal their personalities. There’s a sense of nostalgia wrapped in a bit of chaos – classic Dinosaur Jr. The performances, both on stage and off, are laid bare, giving you a real sense of who these guys are and what they went through.
