Waiting: The Van Duren Story is a fascinating dive into the Memphis music scene, capturing the essence of a band that emerged from the shadows of Big Star. The film's tone is reflective, almost nostalgic, as it chronicles Van Duren's journey through the vibrant yet challenging landscape of the 70s bar circuit. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the time and feel the weight of missed opportunities. There’s raw emotion in Duren's performances, and the documentary does a great job of weaving together interviews and archival footage, making the story feel personal and relatable. It’s not just about music; it’s about resilience and the pursuit of one's passion, which is what makes it stand out.
