Review of Color Me Obsessed: A Film About The Replacements (2011) by Jim B — 07 Dec 2012
Kinda brilliant. Kinda dumb. Kinda The Replacements. Long overdue documentary on "the last band that mattered" according to Spin magazine. Gorman Bechard chose to use interviews and concert and album information as the basis of his feature, rather than use performance footage or interviews with the band.
Interviews which feature such big names as comic actor Dave Foley and a seemingly incongruous but oddly appropriate and enlightening segment with George Wendt, rock musicians and rock critics are interviewed and a few big names in the Minneapolis scene all give their insight and recollection of the 80's punk scenes best and worst band.
Some of their more infamous shows are recalled and we are treated to a spotlight on the eponymous namesake of the fabled Tim album. Heartfelt,entertaining,with some genuinely moving moments.
