Superb film about a great band - Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me review by TE
Pretty much the perfect rock music documentary, long enough to do justice to the brilliance of its subject, and with some great 'special features' as well.
Big Star's three albums are now recognised as artistic triumphs: the first two are packed with sublime tunes and lyrics that blend exuberance with pain. The third album has some fillers, but also has a core of astonishing songs, a suite of gorgeous melodies combined with bitterly tragic lyrics.
The film gives an excellent record of the band and of the individuals concerned.
