    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.

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

    Will please devotees without attracting many, if any, new converts.

    An uncommonly intimate portrait, in large part because the filmmaker, Bradley Beesley, is a longtime neighbor, friend, and collaborator.
