Pavements

"As gleefully idiosyncratic and as suspicious of mainstream success as the band and its fans."

"A palimpsest of approaches: four concepts placed on top of each other, but none can be seen clearly."

"Delightfully destabilising."

"A film that’s as formally adventurous and oddly affecting as the soundtrack."

"The goofy, sweetly cerebral charm of a subtly strange band is captured in this ingenious tribute."

"Perry’s commitment to the bit cannot be questioned."

"An artificial artifact that nonetheless proves more authentic than a plain and unadorned recording."

"Delightfully chaotic."

"Alternately self-conscious and disarmingly sly."

"Perry’s Cubist portrait finds a fitting balance between reverence and mischievousness."

"A two-hour chronicle that, unlike its subject, doesn’t know precisely when to quit."

"Pavement remains a great band worthy of a great documentary. They now have one."

"In general, the indirect approach is unusually effective at capturing the wily spirit of Pavement."

"It’s something of a sincere if self-indulgent inside joke."

"It’s one for the fans – and we are legion."

"It’s hard not to admire Keery’s poker-faced commitment to the bit."

"One of the wildest and unhinged approaches to a music documentary ever made."

"A Möbius strip of a music documentary, at once ardent in its affections and devilishly ironic."

"Richly inventive."
