An examination of the iconic 90s indie band, “Pavements” appears to be just another music documentary, until it doesn’t.  A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.

“For all the self-consciousness about its genre, this film also satisfies as a simply straightforward rock doc, a hagiography for fans to bask in, and––relatedly––a piece of uncritical ‘fan service.'” ~ David Katz, The Film Stage
