Blue Rodeo: Lost Together

Lost Together is a visually beautiful film - beautifully shot and put together. It mostly focuses on the band's early years and is based largely on archival footage and present-day interviews. Since they've been part of the Canadian cultural fabric for 40 incredible years, most Canadians should be familiar with at least a few of their songs. The band remains shockingly humble and scandal-free so it's more a story of friendship and the Canadian music industry rather than a tabloid-esque expose.

Fans who have followed the band for a long time won't find a lot of surprises here. Some things have been omitted or perhaps glossed over although it is admittedly difficult to squeeze 40 years into a 90-minute nutshell. But it's lovely just watching the guys reminisce and chat. And, especially in our current geopolitical climate, it's a warm and fuzzy reminder of what makes our country so badass. Blue Rodeo is as Canadian as it gets - they've given us their hearts as they've crisscrossed this country so many times and we are very privileged to hold those hearts - and the music inside them - as we navigate this life.
