They Call It Acid dives deep into the 80s acid house scene, capturing the raw energy and counterculture spirit of the time. Gordon Mason's direction feels almost immersive, as if you're experiencing the vibrant underground clubs firsthand. The pacing ebbs and flows, weaving between the pulsating beats and the personal stories of iconic figures who shaped the movement. The interviews are candid, revealing the highs and lows of a scene that was as much about music as it was about community. Visually, it's a collage of grainy footage and vivid recollections, which gives it an authentic, somewhat chaotic feel. It's distinctive for its unfiltered look at a cultural moment that often gets glossed over in more mainstream narratives.
