Every Everything: The Music, Life & Times of Grant Hart Audience Reviews

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Rob Kelleher In this wonderful documentary, Gorman Bechard presents us with an intimate and candid portrait of the inimitable Grant Hart. This film subverts the traditional format of the rock documentary and in doing so gives us a compelling, engaging and at times haunting look at an indie rock legend.Having Grant as the sole narrator of his own story was a great idea, as he is such an intelligent and articulate storyteller. Having others reflect on his career and influence would only serve to distract from what this film is trying to achieve. His story brims with wit, sadness, honesty and told through that slightly sardonic tongue of his we are given a real glimpse of the man who has given us such achingly gorgeous, rousing music through Husker Du, Nova Mob and his own highly eclectic solo career. Throughout the movie, Hart touches upon his days in Husker Du, his friendship with William S Burroughs , his passion for collage art, his heroin addiction and his family. We are also given a heartbreaking tour of his 'house' that really resonates emotionally when the narrative arrives at the this point in his story. The location settings throughout the interviews are really interesting, and touch upon various points of his life and career. There is also some wonderful archival footage from the Husker Du/Nova Mob days( the footage of Nova Mob performing 'The Main" is absolute GOLD), as well as 2 hours of extra interview footage on the DVD that is worth the price of admission alone.An often misunderstood artist, who it seems gets misrepresented in his former songwriter partners more well documented history, 'Every Everything' is a must watch because it attempts to set the record straight without resorting to clichés, resentment and he said/she said bullshit dramatics.Its hard not to sometimes view Grant as a somewhat tragic and sad figure, but this film is as uncompromising and forward thinking as its subject.
mem_mehmet Most people with an interest in alternative rock will have heard of Bob Mould, the Hüsker Dü and Sugar singer/guitarist and pioneer but over time the other incredible songwriter in Hüsker Dü has been forgotten. A lot of Hüsker Dü fans would argue that Grant Hart's songs were some of the best songs they ever recorded. Songs like Diane, don't want to know if you are lonely, green eyes etc which have all been successfully covered by other artists such as Therapy?, Green Day etc. This documentary gives a fascinating insight into the story behind Hart and what makes him such an intriguing musician . The documentary itself covers his life and includes music from throughout his career. I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe that even a non Hüsker Dü fan would be taken in by the story of alternative rock's forgotten man.
Rob Campbell It is no spoiler who Grant Hart is until you see this film. This film is full of quotable lines from the man - and even if you hate Husker Du the lines are tremendous . If I ever was famous I would want to be just like Grant Hart. That is all I can say without spoiling the film. It is a tremendous look inside the mind of a simple guy who influenced people. I am not some huge fan, but the film made me feel like I knew grant Hart my entire life and as if him and I were just talking. I appreciate the film and it's achievement . This film is genius and as a BioDoc it is what may be the best ever. There was an accompanying record for the films release on Record Store Day 2014 and that was PERFECT. One may not realize how Grant Hart was a the front of a movement he created or how he was so influential and if you watch this film you would never know it. Hart's genius , the film's genius is that the man is not what one would expect. He is not bitter, he is not full of himself - Hart is a humble man with much to say. I almost passed out when he brought up the Smashing Pumpkins . The film is a journey to the center of Hart and most people do not know who he is-and I think he is happy with that
Caryn Rose I am a fan of the Minneapolis music scene of the 80s and saw Husker Du perform back in the day, but would not characterize myself as a huge fan. But I am a fan of Gorman Bechard's work so I was curious about his decision to make a film about Grant Hart, especially after seeing Grant in "Color Me Obsessed". I found every moment of this film absolutely fascinating, interesting, and unpredictable. Bechard managed to combine Grant Hart's musical history along with his personal and artistic history in a manner that brings you into the story, but doesn't dwell on anything so long that it becomes boring. Unlike "Color Me Obsessed," there is music and video of the band; my only complaint is that I don't think that enough of it really gave you the sense of what a maelstrom Husker Du were live. I did not realize that Hart had created all the artwork for Husker Du's albums and singles and the descriptions of that process were absolutely fascinating to me, especially in this day and age of Photoshop and digital files. I could have heard him talk about that for hours. I walked out of the film convinced that I needed to see it again, to make sure I didn't miss anything, which is probably the best compliment I could give it.
