About This Movie

So, R.E.M.: This Is Not a Show - Live at the Olympia in Dublin is a pretty fascinating watch for anyone who digs live music documentaries. The film captures the raw energy and preparation of the band as they gear up for their five-night gig in 2007. It's not just a concert film, really; it feels more like a glimpse into their creative process, with moments of camaraderie and tension. The pacing is a bit languid at times, but it lets you soak in the atmosphere of the venue and the band's dynamic. You get to see them working through their setlist, and those practical effects of lights and angles really add to the experience. It's a nice blend of documentary and performance. Just feels genuine, you know?

Interesting insights into band dynamics.Great atmosphere of the Olympia Theatre.Nice blend of behind-the-scenes and live performance.
