It's a Rockabilly World!

I hate seeing two things associated with rockabilly - misogyny and racism.

Both are addressed but not forcefully enough.

There was no real refutation of the misogyny expressed by a couple of the subjects.

The confederate flag issue - I would have like to see one white dude out and out state the truth - it's absolutely a symbol that of racism and has no place in the rockabilly scene. Ideally directly to one of the racists who defended the flag.

The ambiguity of these issues in the film make it hard for me to recommend it to friends. I wouldn't want anybody to think I'm ok with these views.

Otherwise I really, really enjoyed this deep dive into the scene.

I like it, 50's design in general, cars, architecture, furniture, arts, dressing styles just gorgeous and music, NO lip syncing, no ear phones, just voice and (raw) talent. Love it. What I don't get in today rockabilly are all those tats and piercing, maybe my trypanophobia has something to do with that.

If you Love Documentaries, And Music, And Culture, And Art, and Hot Rides this is a must see!!! I was totally unaware of anything like this. I thought this lifestyle was left in the 1950s. The Music is amazing. The Rockabillies are very Interesting. These guys have really cool outfits. The women are Awesome. They are very classy Pin Up Models. The music will get you out of your seat. Live Guitar Drum and Bass. The Cars are really cool to see. Cool engines, and paint jobs. There's so much to learn about this lifestyle!!! You will learn so much about it's history and what being a Rockabilly is all about. This Documentary has everything you could ask for. It's A Rockabilly World is a Great Film.

Loved this documentary! I've always been obsessed with learning about different countercultures and this film did not disappoint. Thought provoking in places, funny in others - it took me through the Rockabilly scene as it is today and back to its roots.

The film is full of colorful personalities and great music. It covers both the light and dark side of these dare to be different Rockabillies. As a punk in the 80s when the Rockabilly scene was reviving, I knew some people who were into it, but didn't truly understand it until now. Great direction, editing, sound and color - its well worth 90 minutes to see why Rockabilly attracts people to the bygone era of the 50s in the new millennium. Watch it!

Thoroughly enjoyable, makes for the best doc on music and culture that I've seen in awhile--makes you want to be there, go there, dive into the lifestyle yourself...Though it's definitely not trying to sell itself--just puts its cool on display--and makes it hard not to think "that's where the fun is at". The interviews are choice, just telling perfectly the essential history of the scene, which encompasses the figures/icons of yesterday and today, the beautiful women and their hair and svelte styles, the cool cat gentlemen with guitars and their 50s era cars--somewhat "greasers", but much much more, if you will. The people who put this together, those on screen and those on the production team, took a low-production budget to the next level. Worth a watch and then some.
