Synopsis

From the shifting fault lines of Hollywood fantasies and the economic and racial tensions of Reagan's America, Fishbone rose and became one of the most original bands of the last 25 years. With a blistering combination of punk and funk they demolished the walls of genre and challenged the racial stereotypes and the political order of the music industry and of the nation.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Steven Tocci Fishboooonneee! Great documentary featuring the most underrated band in the world. For lovers of punk/ska/reggae/funk/metal/pop music. Shows you exactly how hard it is to be a success in the (at times pathetic) music industry. When you get Flea, Gwen Stefani, Tim Robbins, George Clinton, Mike Watt and many others talking you up, you know you are doing something right. Unfortunately the suits at the top of the dung pile that are record companies could not recognize the brilliance of Fishbone. Too often thrown in the 'too hard to categorize basket. Too far ahead of their time, hopefully people will finally catch up and see how good Fishbone are and give them the respect they deserve. Watch it now!!!!
Raphaela J Francis I was very pleased on how raw and real this documentary was. I was surprised at how much detail the director was able to get about this remarkable band in under 2 hours. I appreciate the director including the stories of all the original band members and focusing on the relationships and difficulties they have all faced and continue to face while being able to focus on the originality of their music. It was funny, informative, and gives these talented men the recognition they deserve. This movie was well overdue and fans will love it. It brought back so many nostalgic memories about how Fishbone helped shaped my teenage years by opening my eyes to new and refreshing rock, ska, reggae mix of music. No one does it like Fishbone, and no one ever will.
krispy73 Fishbone has been apart of me since the late 80's. Started when my cousin put in a tape for me. The album was called "In Your Face". I was hooked. By "Truth and Soul" I became part of the Family and there was no turning back. Every concert to Detroit I was there. With or without a date. This band rocks. You hear Fishbone it stirs something inside you, you may not be able to put your finger on it, its there, in your Face. This film enriched the Fishbone Family in more ways than there is space to write. If you are new to the "Family", born to the "Family" (like my kids), or married to the family;) it really don't matter this film is a must see, must have. Gives insight to the magic behind the music. Always Still Stuck in my heart,Kris
etkeeney Such a treat to learn more about one of the greatest bands ever. The comments from their contemporaries are priceless - and getting to know Angelo and Norwood on such a personal level was so insightful. My only complaint about the movie is it tended to paint a rather bleak picture of the band's existence and didn't focus enough on the great things they've continued to accomplish like their continued success touring in Europe or their album "Still Stuck in your Throat". In fact - this album was skipped altogether - which is sad - as it is a "later career" record - and is surely one of their top 3 of all time. Nonetheless - Fishbone certainly deserves far greater praise and success than they enjoy today. Let us hope this film helps push them higher, as there is no band on the planet more deserving.
