See that picture above? It is a photo representing evil because that is not what this film is. This was written about Buzz-SXSW as a documentary about the Canadian band Broken Social Scene. The problem is that not a documentary at all, but rather a film that uses a gig as a backdrop. You can not find that the band is not to study how they formed, not to talk about the outbreaks and other groups who join in You may already know that stuff if you are immersed in the music scene today, but I am so tragically inappropriate to or even who they were.

However, I am now a convert. The music is great, and that makes it painful for a real documentary about these people. Who are they? How do they meet? Why are there so many members of the band? How bad is when they fight? But, as mentioned earlier, you get none of this. You just listen to music and occasionally the camera will focus on concert footage of the band for a while. But that's all. However, you see and hear enough of them you expect a live album of that concert will be released, I just want them in this film is an exercise in frustration.

It is almost forgivable, because the director Bruce McDonald uses the soundtrack to a concert rich and real as the key to this movie ... too bad it has a huge liberty with the public and slaps in the face at the end of the film.
