Outstanding
If you're a fan of Jay at all you have to see this film. It's very well made and has some great interviews with his closest friends and family & some great older interviews with Jay and some fantastic footage from shows. I was only a casual fan of Jay Reatard before watching this i've only heard his album Blood Visions. I never knew his discography was so extensive and that he played with so many great bands.
And if you're not a fan of Jays this film will probably make you one, it's freaking awesome. Hopefully Amazon will eventually sell this on DVD/Blu ray, i would love to own a physical copy of this.
Sad and beautiful
This look at Jay Reatard is touching and sad, with some very surprising and insightful moments about his life, his work and his philosophy about music. Some great interviews, and some amazing performances. Even if you only know a little about Jay, it's worth watching.
Great movie about a great talent.
Jay R-word. I felt funny asking the guy at my local entertainment store if he had this documentary about Jay Reatard. With no luck, I decided to rent it on Amazon & watch it immediately. Why? Because I had only been exposed to a few J.R. songs...and I wanted to know more about the late musician. He is now legendary, at least locally. But this film gives a good taste of his shows and what he was all about. After watching this great film, I am convinced Jay had a masterpiece or twelve in his future were he still alive. R.I.P., J. Lindsey.
