Synopsis:

From IMDb: “In 2010, rock band The National were about to embark on the biggest tour of their career. After ten years as a band, and five critically acclaimed albums, they were finally enjoying wider recognition. Lead singer Matt Berninger invited his younger brother, Tom, to join the tour’s crew. A budding horror filmmaker, Tom – who is nine years younger than Matt and listens exclusively to heavy metal – decided to bring his camera along. Tom’s at sea in the world of indie rock, and living in his brother’s shadow brings out the younger sibling in him – he drinks, complains, and struggles to balance his ambition with his tour responsibilities. The result is a film about brothers and about making something of your own.”

Trailer: B

Review: Another potentially fascinating documentary where blood may not be stronger than fame. The documentary could be quite interesting and the trailer is decently constructed, but there are some potential pitfalls with the narrative that are hinted at with the trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
