Reviews: "[A] documentary that digs deep inside this most revolutionary and tortured of punk quartets..." (Entertainment Weekly, 08/20/2004, p.103, Owen Gleiberman), "[A]bsorbing....[T]he music has lasted..." (New York Times, 08/20/2004, p.E8, Stephen Holden), "[A]n engaging and emotional documentary..." (Los Angeles Times, 09/10/2004, p.E4, Kenneth Turan), "It's the most comprehensive and compelling overview yet of the Ramones' career." (Uncut, 02/01/2005, p.103, Carol Clerk), "There is pathos in their story, and a kind of perverse dignity, but this level-headed film resists the impulse toward instructive moral fable." (Sight and Sound, 02/01/2005, p.50, Andrew O'Hehir), "[R]iveting....The final word on the strange birth, revolutionary genius and dysfunctional adulthood of the mother of all punk bands." (Mojo, 04/01/2005, p.121, Mojo Staff), "[I]ts bitter emotionalism comes from a hopelessly bowl-cut band that was too legit to quit." (Rolling Stone, 04/07/2005, p.77, Peter Relic) |
