Somehow popped up on a streaming service and saw Jesse Eisenberg so decided to give this a shot. He sort of bookends the film, perhaps all in a good days shooting for an old pal?0

Personally it took a couple nights attempting to get through it, while you can root for if not enjoy the indie vibe, the film flat out doesn't deliver.

The student film street cred gets a little torqued by Eisenberg and Tippi Hedren in an interesting, trying not to be elegiac, role.

For me the trouble was that Jess Weixler could not carry the film, too many times her reaction shots to Hedren in particular but the the calvacade of visitors to her food truck would drift off, and encourage us the viewer to do the same. And the "romantic" one that got away, feels like a lucky break more than it elicits any more twisted emotions.

Like the ice cream for sale which is not technically ice cream, this film is not quite the post-millennial Hal Hartley-esque auteur outing its producers or us viewers want it to be.

Ratcatchers and birdwatchers in punk rock UK grim fairytale. Down on your heels, so click 'em three times shouting Oi each time.

This film reminded me cinematically of Lynne Ramsay's old Ratcatcher and radiophonically of my friend Earl Grey calling his home "Ol' Blighty." Lot of choogling tune-age in this, Sleaford Mods and other cons. Even makes a case for "Dad music."

Tremendous young actress Nykiya Adams carries the film in her pocket with cellphone videos. Two charismatic enigmatic male leads serve as her guide posts. The always amazing Barry Keoghan as a hooligan father squatting in squalor but still strutting his irrepressible stuff in tattooed carapace. Then there's Franz Rogowski in the title role who catches and hoists aloft Bailey's fancy.

A peculiar coming-of-age-too-soon tale that blends magical and tragical realism.

Watched while 34000 feet above this bitter beautiful planet.

Saw this on a flight across the country, and as others have said this is just the first two albums (and some backstory) for Led Zeppelin.

Have the living members react to a rare audio review of John Bonham was one of the nice highlights. I was in high school and anxious for the summer US tour of Led Zep and the news of Bonham's death for me rivaled the senseless slaughter of John Lennon around the same time. Honestly I was more into Led Zeppelin at the time.

Anyways the excitement of the songs and the quest to America for their early tours was pretty exhilarating. Tales from the brave SF scene, with some footage. I might have liked seeing some of concert bills - that two day fest with Sun Ra one day and Jimmy Page and the gang the next! Bonham strutting his stuff with a slew of soul percussionists nearby, alas only told in words not pictures but aces!

That was told by John Paul Jones, and there was something about how he told tales - such a perfect style. No wonder he went on to roll with Diamanda Galas.

Meanwhile scenes of their homecoming to a concert in the UK where the LOUD knocked away some of the CROWD was funny. Monty Python funny! I was hoping to find a review from the young boy muffling his ears here ;> Maybe there is footage of Masonna playing a Japanese high school prom to rival that?

Other moments felt like filler, some collage clips of world wars and world woes over classic Zeppelin tunes. A lengthy look at Shirley Basset as it united the two studio musicians Jimmy and John Paul was, um, okay. But I would have traded that for even the tiniest taste of Led Zeppelin III. (for me a great and oft overlooked branching out of their dark sonic powers).

Were the interviews held in Aleister Crowley's cottage? Or a Dark Shadows studio set?

Honestly, while I remain a fan - the Rubin "McCartney 3, 2, 1" is a far better watch in my estimation. Although the "loosely tight" Zep style of performance, briefly alluded to and showcased some here is so great.

If you got to see him, even muffled-ears lad, I envy you.
