LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS TRULY TRANSCENDENT FILM!...The accumulating effect of this airy and resonant film’s formal devices is that of a heartbroken artist learning to reengage with society...Some will long for the days of short, sharp and violent Cave, the baddest of the bad seeds, but this new Cave is like a messenger from a higher place in the tower of song...
Musically sublime, gracefully directed, and filled with an inspiring optimism that couldn’t be more timely, this is another first-class exercise in capturing music on film from Dominik, Cave and Ellis.
...The atmosphere is stripped down and austere, allowing the songs to speak for themselves as they transport us from this world to the next...A spectacular cinematographic and spiritual exhibition...Authenticity over prolixity, candidness over intellectuality, the greater art over pandemic misfortunes... Unavoidable and unforgettable...A phenomenal doco that's a portrait of expression, a musing on an exceptional collaboration and a rumination upon existence...Evidence of underlying pathos and reserve resides in his music, which is altogether mournful, majestic, and magical, beautifully captured by Dominik...Cave puts his more traditional songs aside to respond to Ellis’ wild energy. The musical sequences are impeccably rendered.
