This is a wonderful and very moving documentary about actual artists. Not those shitbags you'll see in the papers or on tv. It is also a documentary proving that the music industry is fucked. ... and I didn't cry because it was sad. I cried because I had the feeling that I might end up like these guys. Which is great and very depressing at the same time.

THis was aired on Canal+ last week, and the magic of metal is still raging in these guys' blood! Yeah, "family's important shit, man!" What's disheartening though is the latent hypocrisy prevailing in the music business: "yeah, you're very good, but we're very afraid of not being able (having real balls) to trust you enough by producing your otherwise marvellous album..."

Not many movies get me so involved in peoples dreams but this one did. I really wanted Anvil as a band to succeed and I still do. The guys feel and are real as their dreams and the movie captures the journey - the story - of Anvil with all of its glory. Weirdly it reminds me of Spinal Tap even though this is a documentary.

Passion and a lack of luck.

Very Spinal Tap, but it's real and you actually start to care for the well-being of the band.

Excellent doc.! By the end of it you just want nothing more than to see these guys succeed with their music and get what comes from paying your dues for years...Love how it comes full circle to japan again.

Did no one think this was poorly put together? I thought there were some pretty poor choices re: editing, etc. Nevertheless, the subjects really shone through, which made this a really entertaining doc. How could you not fall in love with these guys?

if there's a heavy metal singer crying in his band's documentary and not making it corny, it's anvil's steve ludlow. that's how heavy metal he is. and if there's a documentary about a then famous and now struggling heavy metal band and not making it boring, it's anvil! the story of anvil. that's how heavy metal the documentary is.

A must see for any artist in any thing related to entertainment. Or just any artist.

This is the closest to a real life "This is Spinal Tap" could be. Rob Reiner's mockumentary is the smiling face of theater, "Anvil!" is the sad one. Great doc.

I saw this the other day in Little Rock, AR, and after the show Anvil came out and played a few tunes. Afterwards I got to meet the band and bought a CD from the drummer. Some really cool dudes and it's great that they can stick together through all these years. So dreams really do come true.
