Reception

Reception of the film has been positive.

Justine JC of Scene Crave wrote, "The cinematography is artistic and raw, yet deft, making the mess of a story line (well, lack there of [sic]…) strangely engaging. The film is literally an arbitrary compilation of the people and events involved in the band's tour."[3]
