“The goofy, sweetly cerebral charm of a subtly strange band is captured in this ingenious tribute.” – IndieWire
“[Alex Ross Perry] clearly doesn’t want the music to end. After ‘Pavements,’ no one else will either.” – Screen Daily
An examination of the iconic 90s indie band, “Pavements” appears to be just another music documentary, until it doesn’t. A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.
