Stop Making Sense
CriticsCritics: 97
AudienceAudience: 8.8
A concert film captures an acclaimed band performing on tour for its 1983 album. The show builds gradually as musicians and guest performers join the stage, creating a lively, career-spanning performance filled with inventive movement and striking visuals.
My takeYou’ll enjoy this if you like energetic live music, unusual stage performances, and concert films such as Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones; Not for you if you prefer backstage stories or narrative movies.
