You don’t have to be a follower of Eagles of Death Metal, or even glancingly familiar with their music, to appreciate the emotional power of Hanks’ deeply felt film.

The vivid recollections of the attack by survivors, including Mr. Hughes, take over the film midway through, and the friendship story line never quite re-establishes itself.

The trauma, the aftermath and the healing. This documentary wasn't about the band or for the band, it's a remembrance and a recovery process. The horrible thing that happened and their path to heal that wound and move on. Really moving and that is its approach and that's the reason why it works so good.

This is a story about a band that finds joy in making music and making their fans happy, the anguish of seeing that lost to fear and death, and the people, both the band and fans, having the courage to come back and say "you will not take anything from us" to their attackers.
