I Love/Hate The Aide

About This Movie

I Love/Hate The Aide is a quirky dive into the chaotic world of The Aide, a Norwich-based post-punk band that splits opinions right down the middle. The film has this raw, almost chaotic energy that mirrors their music—it's like watching a live show where you can feel the sweat and tension in the air. The pacing varies, oscillating between frenetic performance clips and candid interviews, offering a glimpse behind the curtain. Themes of love and disdain for their craft are front and center, showcasing the duality of being an artist. Practical effects are minimal, which suits its documentary style, and the performances feel authentic, almost like you're part of their inner circle. Really, it’s an interesting look at a band that thrives on polarizing opinions.
