Review of The Band

The Band (2009)
2/10
Weird and dated.
4 August 2020
This movie is kind of appalling. First of all, it feels like it is more about the 1970s than the 21st century. The music business is way more business like than is depicted in this film. The fact is, this movie shows utter contempt for rock music and the people who make it. Nobody here is a disciplined artist or even seems to care a whole lot about what they do. The songs they have are simplistic with stupid lyrics. This film was *not* made by someone who loves rock 'n' roll or knows much about it or even listens to it.

A thoroughly unimpressive waste of time to watch. My God, even the sex scenes can't hold my attention. They devoted a lot of the film to depictions of sex and those scenes are just poorly conceived and filmed. Basically, the film makers failed on every single point.
