Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All

This is how you do a music documentary.

Filmage moves along with the pace of a Descendents song. It captures the story of the band in an engaging (and hilarious) way, without ever getting bogged down. There are enough Descendents and All songs here to keep any fan happy and craving a punk show!

The band members are interviewed and all appear like genuine, down to earth guys that just love music. Other musicians (and fans) interviewed are as wide-ranging as Dave Grohl, Mark Hoppus to Fat Mike and a Pulmonologist!

This documentary manages to succeed in being many things. Part appreciation piece, part biography of the band and part inspiring real-life tale, complete with triumph over medical adversity. I didn't expect to come away so inspired. I have loved the band since my teenage years, but didn't realise a documentary on them could motivate me to overcome my own challenges in life.

A must-watch for fans of the band and music in general.
