Reeling with PJ Harvey

About This Movie

Reeling with PJ Harvey is a fascinating glimpse into the raw energy of PJ Harvey's world in the early '90s. Directed by Maria Mochnacz, the film feels like a time capsule, blending live performance footage from a 1993 concert at the London Forum with candid backstage moments. The pacing ebbs and flows, capturing the intensity of the music contrasted with the quieter, more introspective behind-the-scenes shots. It's interesting how the in-studio footage from the Rid of Me sessions adds a layer of intimacy to the documentary. The whole vibe is kind of gritty, reflective of the era and PJ's style—there's a real authenticity to it all, showcasing not just the performer but the person behind the music.
