Reception
Reception of the film has been positive.
Justine JC of Scene Crave said: "The cinematography is artistic and raw, yet deft, making the mess of a story line (well, lack there of…) strangely engaging. The film is literally an arbitrary compilation of the people and events involved in the band’s tour." [4]
