Between Dog and Wolf: The New Model Army Story (2014) User Reviews

Long time fans & newcomers should find this interesting

One of the most underrated band (luckily ?) deserved such a treat. As frontman Justin Sullivan acknowledge, he's not eternal, so it was probably time do look back on their career.

So, a testimony on the 35 years of one of the only band that never compromised in any way, with a lot of insight but no voyeurism. The first years, with legendary bass player Stuart Morrow (who's largely interviewed) are largely covered. The albums from the 90's and 2000's are not dealt in details at all, but you get the feeling of the band anyway.

If you're a fan, parts of the story are missing but some are covered in the bonus ;)

Very good documentary on one of the greatest indie Rock/Folk bands

[guigui-paul · 8/10 · 15 October 2022]

New Model Army has been one of the greatest independent English Rock/Folk bands since 1980, just listen to their album THUNDER AND CONSOLATION, a masterpiece, major album of the 80s and an unforgettable marvel of emotions, of lyricism and catchy melodies. BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF THE NEW MODEL ARMY STORY is a very good documentary that paints a fair portrait of this little-known group. Far from being exhaustive however, the (very good) albums from "Impurity" (1990) to "Today is a good day" (2009) are not mentioned there for example. The film retraces the history of NMA in a convincing way, being able to address its audience of faithful as well as "profane". It may even make some people want to discover the little jewels of melodic and sensitive indie rock that are "Thunder and consolation" but also "The ghost of Cain", "Impurity", "The love of hopeless causes", "Eight", "High", without forgetting the superb Folk solo excursions of "Navigating by the stars" and "Surrounded"...in short, practically the entire discography of the brilliant songwriter Justin Sullivan!
