    Fans will gorge on this deft, year-by-year portrait of the ultimate enduring cult band.

    The story of Canada's tragically unhip – Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart, charter members of a group that has sold 40 million or so albums and discs since 1973, without ever getting a whole lotta love. Never mind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Rush never even made it on American TV until funnyman Stephen Colbert invited them on The Colbert Report in 2008.

    Endearing documentary, winner of Tribeca's audience award, should delight devotees and intrigue nonbelievers.

    I am still astounded to this day that Rush isn't considered one of the greatest bands in rock history. This movie just proves that there genius in what they do is unrivaled. It is a great story of how the band came to be and how they managed to stay together. Any fan of Rush will love this movie.… Expand
