About This Movie

So, 'Lydia Lunch: The War Is Never Over' is this fascinating dive into the world of Lydia Lunch, who was a huge part of the No Wave scene back in NYC during the late 70s. The doc feels raw and unfiltered, reflecting her confrontational style. It’s not just a typical career retrospective; it really captures her essence—her music, her spoken word performances, and that unapologetic attitude towards feminism. The pacing can be a bit erratic, much like Lunch herself, but it all kind of works, you know? The footage and interviews create this electrifying atmosphere that’s as unsettling as it is captivating. It’s all about her journey, her battles, and how she's never really slowed down.
