Review of loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies (2006) by Michael L — 16 Dec 2009
LoudQUIETloud is a warm documentary charting the reformation of the Pixies in 2004. Compared to rockumentaries such as "Some Kind of Monster" the crew seems less imposing but equally adept in picking up the real drama, the conflict between the characters.
The Pixies seem to communicate with eachother mainly though music, with all four members having their own battles and partial arcs through the course of the film. The Kim v Charles drama, still dominates the band as at the split but all four members bring with them the baggage (good and bad) accumulated from the years apart.
The reunion is a success and despite the strained communication seems to have helped each deal with something they were struggling with. They were and are awesome and the editors bring through the sense that the band is more than the sum of the parts, that they all know, that despite everything The Pixies are magical.
The sound a mother makes when a baby breaks but beautiful all the same.
