    Provides that rarest of documentary accomplishments: a glimpse into the artists' sunny, dark hearts.

    An all-access fan's valentine as artfully scrappy and likably wide-eyed as its subjects.

    In the wonderful new rockumentary The Fearless Freaks, Flaming Lips fans describe the band's live performances in almost spiritual terms, and for once, their fervor seems wholly justified.

    Beesley's film is perfectly in sync with the Lips' unique vision.

    It is honestly a rare thing that you walk away from a music documentary about a band you love with a higher opionion of the people involved than you had before it. Its sad, its funny but most of all the key players are genuinely appealing, fascinating and charming. I made the mistake of seeing this for the first time on the same night I saw Metallica's Some Kind Of Monster. Both great films but there are no prizes for guessing who come accross as the better people. See it, you'll love it!… Expand

    A real treat to 'grow up' with the Flaming Lips. The evolutionary process was never as clearly presented as it is here. Up, downs and in betweens, this dvd is a great watch.… Expand
