7/10
An inciting and compelling doc.
11 May 2020
"Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson And The Band" invites you to sit back and relax, while Robbie Robertson and other music royalty dive into the mystical journey of a great rock band. . In this documentary, singer/songwriter Robbie Robertson tells the candid story about the creation of one of the most enduring bands in the history of popular music, The Band. . There's something about The Band that always draws me in. Maybe it's the music, maybe it's their short lived musical journey, maybe it's how mysterious they seemed, but one thing is for sure is that not all bands have withstood what these guys have been through. Seeing Robertson tell personal stories about himself and the band is ultimately gratifying. I still think that Scorsese's "The Last Waltz" is the ultimate music doc and concert but this doc is a solid full framed story about these incredible musicians. The final moments of this film are nothing short of heart-wrenching and beautiful. Fans of music and The Band will enjoy this ride. . Follow @snobmedia for more reviews!
