Awesome

I was somewhat disappointed in it. It wasn't a bad film, but nowhere near as invigorating or joyous as 2010's "Beyond the Lighted Stage."

For starters, there's a huge chunk of time spent on super fans when the focus really needed to be on Rush. I was completely bored by much of this, although it's nothing personal against these fans. I just never had any sense of why they loved Rush's music so much and we never see the band interact with them. One man found inspiration in a song during recovery of a horrific accident, but beyond explaining that the lyrics meant a lot to him, we are not given a lot of reason to feel this connection with him (do they even play the song he cites?).

The story of Rush concluding their final set, apparently, of road shows is indeed a worthy subject to document, and there are some outstanding insights provided by the band members themselves. While not a concert genre film, a glaringly obvious deficiency is the lack of actual music in the film. About halfway through, I found myself craving for it, which I would have forgave had there been some kind of payoff. It doesn't happen.
