Synopsis

On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. Following such once-in-a-lifetime performance, this is an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

Our take

Made before their reunion in 2015, LCD Soundsystem cement their status as a 21st-century Talking Heads with this part-euphoric, part-wistful, semi-self-consciously anticlimactic concert film. Joined by their famous friends, the band bid farewell in front of Madison Square Garden’s crowd of 20,000.
