The music drives the movie and the musicians themselves are interesting.

The music itself is fantastic, featuring memorable and rich songs with accomplished musicianship and great passion. It was a pleasure to spend time with the players and learn a little bit (unfortunately, not a lot) about their lives and careers. However, the cinematography is simply awful. The movie has a cheap, amateurish, washed-out look. It's very unpleasant to behold, especially with the shaky camerawork. It feels like it was all done rather haphazardly with little thought. Just buy the CD.

Obviously a work of great love. Oozes joy. What it lacks in conflict or narrative it makes up for in beautiful flowing visuals so at odds with the assumed formality of documentary.
