This is a quiet stunner. This look at the group The Zombies surprised me by seemingly coming from nowhere.
The film charts the rise and troubled existence of the group which came together in the early 1960’s and managed to produce a series of extremely influential songs. Unfortunately tension in the band made the groups course to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame perilous.
I was moved. The simplicity of the telling of this story really connected with me. I am not a Zombies fan but I felt myself connecting to the guys in the band. There is something about following the thing you love that really made me want to embrace them. I came away with a new sense of respect for the group and what they achieved.
In a year with a large number of music documentaries and concert films, this is one of the best.
