Top Critic Utilizando imagens capturadas ao longo de sete anos, Timoner cria um autêntico (e fascinante) arco narrativo, estabelecendo brilhantemente a trajetória de seus anti-heróis.

A messy home movie about the competition between two overindulged rock bands. Much angst. Little talent.

It's a classic music soap opera, but never told with a more raw scream for help at its center.

I must admit that I came out of DiG! with a certain degree of admiration for Newcombe -- and for this documentary.

Frequently jaw-dropping doc, which exposes rock for the hilarious and harrowing undertaking it is.

The film is so candid and real that it's like watching a friend slip into the morass of addiction, obsession, and pig-headed self-absorption.

An amazing documentary that should be required viewing for every garage band dreaming of hitting the big time.

Here I am, no particular fan of either group, and I found the film immensely enjoyable, like watching an especially hilarious trainwreck as it happens.
