Filmmaker Scott Barber follows the heavy metal band GWAR, through its early days coming up through the late '80s to near-commercial success, including dark times and triumph over adversity.
Director Scott Barber does well to present “the world’s sickest band” as a loving family of weirdos. Yes, they had issues. Yes, they fell out from time to time. Yes, they might’ve sprayed a little less sperm. But who amongst us can say any different?
The Guardian by Leslie Felperin
Even if the antics shown here aren’t really your thing, it is still a hoot seeing Gwar members get interviewed by a game Joan Rivers: you can tell that beneath all the latex most of them are sweet, normal folk who remained loyal (mostly) to one another and shared a vision for the group.
The A.V. Club by Luke Y. Thompson
For all the documentary reveals about the band, it leaves you asking further questions, and wanting much more—an apt metaphor for a band that created an impressive legacy, and yet whose members rarely came to a consensus.
A generally upbeat and exhaustively-thorough film.
