A years-in-the-making documentary on the legendary punk band the Ramones. Through a mixture of archival footage, archival and new interviews with all members of the band's various lineups, and new interviews with a number of their contemporaries, the film traces the peaks and valleys the band experienced over the course of its 20-plus year career before disbanding in 1995.
Editing
Jarring cuts between joy and tragedy, like the band itself.
Acting
Joey's fragile voice, Johnny's cold denial—no performance, just pain.
Production
Twenty years of archive hunting, every frame earned.
Director
Michael Gramaglia
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Johnny demanded final cut over interview content and still comes off as a controlling villain. The directors let him.

I got to see this at the cinema. It was fun to see on the big screen. Wish I had seen "New York Doll" at the cinema.
