The Go-Go's

Amazing documentary about The Go-Go's! Really interesting to learn the story of how they started out. They are a very special group of ladies!! And one of the greatest bands ever!!

What a nifty documentary that felt authentic and not a whitewashing of history. A refreshing trip back in time for the all-female pop band, The Go-Gos. If you're into 80s rock you'll like the inside story. There are some candid tales in this heartfelt journey. You have to love a doc where even the people who may be part of the history, but may not like the central figures are honest about the good times and the bad times. A fantastic film! Final Score: 8.8/10

Actually better than the band. Served as a great tour of the late 70's early 80's LA punk and Indi scene.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie is a great story of not only the origins and formation of one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time but also a great story of friendships and sisterhood and the bonds friends make and how through adversity that bond is always there!!!

Great doc about the early days until their original breakup of this band. I want to see more. The movie ends at 1984. Fun footage, and excellent interviews.

The Go-Go's. I had a great interest in seeing this documentary film because I am, and was a dedicated fan since the 1980's, the beginning of the Go-Go's career. Full disclosure: I was a huge Go-Go's fan. So, no surprise that I watched the premiere of the documentary on the day it was released, July 31, 2020. Since then, I have seen the film 4 times. I rated this documentary high for the following reasons: 1. I felt like the director brought in authentic truthful comments from the people portrayed in the film, mainly the artists that worked with the Go-Go's and the Go-Go's themselves. There was no "real-life but scripted" feeling at all. 2. The documentary's background history of the Go-Go's was something new and fresh that I had never known before as a young fan; and I found it fascinating that I really didn't know a lot about the Go-GO's , who they were, their talents, their story, and where they came from. 3. I saw so much in this documentary that would be familiar to a genuine fan but I also saw new photos, news-clippings, and video that I had never seen before. When the documentary was over, my immediate reaction was I felt like it was too short and I wanted more. It also made me happy and I knew I would watch it again.

A favorite documentary of the year. I love the Go-Gos and their story but I love this telling of it. There is great humor and care and love in all of it. I look forward to watching it again

I was never a big fan back in the day but I wasnt a hater either. I liked some of their tunes. What I found appealing about this doc was the humble, yet brutal honesty. Not just about their R&R lifestyle, fame, or breakup which had the usual traps, but their honesty that the sanctity of music wasnt the driving force behind their formation. That it was the punk/ska scene they just wanted to be a part of and music was but a means to an end. One of them says basically "We sucked. But we didnt care. Nobody did. It was punk. We just plugged in and played and whatever happened, happened." Not exactly a Prince or Buddy Holly perfectionist, respect the craft mindset. But its who they were and they didnt deny it. It wasnt until they added a few key pieces that the musicianship, work ethic, and quality elevated...which ultimately paid off. I also respect their Pioneer legacy and the guts it took to make some of the uncomfortable decisions & changes they had to make to become what they did. Its not "If I Leave Here Tomorrow" but its still a good music doc definitely recommended.

I was never huge Go Gos fan. Simply enjoyed their ugly pop songs. This documentary has given me a much better appreciation for their music, the women behind that music, their achievements and struggles. I was moved.
