“Terrifically strange and entertaining.”
– The New York Times
“A reminder that the fourth (and fifth and sixth) wall can be smashed, that the rock doc can be reinvented. And that when the message is meta for meta’s sake, why not make the medium that way, too?”
– Indiewire
“It’s impossible not to be won over”
– Variety
1999 – The world’s most important and influential band Pavement breaks up. And it’s not a big deal.
2022 – The world’s most important and influential band Pavement reunites. And it’s a huge deal.
With these two curious declarations, so begins an unconventional film about a highly unconventional band. Pavements is a documentary that may or may not be entirely true, may or may not be totally sincere, and may or may not be more about the idea of the band—or any band—than a history of the short-lived, passionately loved, commercially marginal American alternative outfit Pavement.
Also it’s a documentary that sometimes is also a stage musical, and sometimes is a biopic, and sometimes is an excuse to put together a star-studded museum opening. This is not your standard rock doc. Since it’s Pavement we’re talking about, it never could be.
