Synopsis
Ostensibly about one man’s all-consuming quest to reunite the 60s rock band The Kinks, this charming documentary offers so much more. The film follows Geoff Edgers, a Boston Globe staff writer, driven by both his desire to create something special before he becomes 40 and his longing to reclaim his teenage, garage-band past. Along this journey he encounters Sting, Zooey Deschanel, Clive Davis, Peter Buck, Paul Weller, Robyn Hitchcock, and, of course, members of the Kinks.
It’s a movie about extreme fandom and mid-life crisis, and, as one critic said, “it should warm the hearts of anyone who ever swooned to ‘Lola’ or ‘Waterloo Sunset.’”
