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.
