"Ten years after Razorlight’s fast rise and infamous implosion, for the first time since he quit and the celebrated line-up split, drummer Andy Burrows has a major heart-to-heart with the band’s frontman and former best friend Johnny Borrell. What happened next, captured authentically as the contemporary narrative unfolds, surprises everyone…
Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell is in a reflective mood. Approaching his 40th birthday, he’s looking back on the band’s mid-noughties glory days with fondness, and with regret. “I feel sad about what happened with the relationships in the band,” he says, referring to the feuds which broke the group.
Older and wiser, Johnny wants to reconcile and to reunite Razorlight’s classic line-up. But with former bandmates overseas and estranged, that might not be too easy.
Ben Lowe’s documentary is a snapshot of a rock band’s tentative reunion and a poignant meditation on the power of friendship and forgiveness. The unobtrusive camerawork puts us right in the middle of the action while never inhibiting the film’s subjects, allowing them to let their guard down and speak freely to each other for the first time in over a decade."
