-A-
1. Mistaken For Strangers
Wow, the best documentary I've ever seen. Yes, I have a huge history with the band The National but holy was this amazing. To pry behind a 'band lifestyle' that is rarely shown. And, no I'm not talking about drug and sex. I'm talking about the struggles of family, friends, the business of a tour, etc.
One of the most heartfelt films of the year, brutally honest, and by far even the funniest film of all year. It's a masterpiece...​
