Our take

Felix van Groeningen won a Directing Prize at Sundance for his intoxicating dive into the nightlife of a bar, and the rise and fall of the two brothers that run it. Set to a Soulwax soundtrack, this electrifying yet sobering look at the rock’n’roll life shows the wild partying, and what comes after.
