Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Pablo If you stumbled upon The Power of Salad and Milkshakes then probably you know Lightning Bolt. If you don't, check their music first- their noisy, loud and aggressive music may not suit everyone. However, it's great music with a purpose- not just shallow and senseless noise. But I won't bother you with their music for now- let's focus on the documentary.This documentary follows Lightning Bolt on the road, with cuts from various gigs from their tour. It's great as a music DVD, as we can see the band and their raw energy on stage. Their live shows can't be compared to their records- as the band usually plays on small venues, not on a stage but at floor level and with the audience right next to them (and very loud). This documentary lets us feel some of that amazing experience.Also, we get to know other facts and stories from the band. Stuff that only fans could care. That's why this documentary it's suitable for fans only. Otherwise, you will find this pointless, boring, and above anything, loud and noisy. However, if you like Lightning Bolt, you should see this right now- will make you love the band even more.

enorme75 The Power Of Salad is really a great movie. It teaches you what is the life of a really underground music band. The kind of band which, by their music extremely violent and their way of thinking it, is really out of the system. The movie shows a lot of live extract (really amazing) and in between, it's kind of "life on the road" things... but well made, not for stupid fans.For those who don't know Lightning Bolt's music, it is a two pieces band from Providence (USA), one guy is playing a very heavy bass while his friend playing the drums at a speed no one can really understand. The drummer also sing/scream in a little distorted mic that is in his mouth... quite strange. Between hardcore techno & noise music.But the thing that is really incredible in this movie is how people are reacting to the band playing live at their different venues. It could be in a kitchen, in front of twelve people, or in an ugly place with 300 people. In each case, EVERYONE is getting completely mad. When you will see this movie - and even if this kind of music is not really yours - i bet that the only thing that you will have in your head is to really see this band performing live. Perhaps because they're only in it for... the music.

ethylester This is an amazing film about an amazing band that helps you learn about the band Lightning Bolt. You see live performances, videos, and interviews. The last ten minutes are incredibly intense. These guys are the real deal!
