Music

Meet Me in the Bathroom

A breathless reminiscence and recollection of the Brooklyn music scene in the early aughts.

Sirens

Meet Slave to Sirens, an all-female thrash metal band from Beirut, Lebanon,

Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song

A music documentary that succeeds in being quite a few things at once: a biography/appreciation and an examination of a now ubiquitous song.

Moonage Daydream | Cannes Film Festival 2022

A documentary love letter to David Bowie and a blast of wall-to-wall music from his 50-year career.

Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliché

Partly a compelling portrait of a young woman ahead of her time, the punk rock supernova who fronted the band X-Ray Spex.

The Velvet Underground

A thoroughly entertaining and insightful documentary, even if it’s not the definitive biography of the band.

Keyboard Fantasies

A perfect film for viewers looking to be inspired, or if they want to hear great music.

Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)

The documentary shines a spotlight on the Harlem Cultural Festival that took place in 1969, the same summer as the more famous Woodstock.

The Sparks Brothers

Edgar Wright’s documentary inspires nothing so much as a burning desire to cancel all plans and just listen to the band Sparks.
