Review of The Stone Roses: Made of Stone (2013) by Graham B — 11 Jan 2015
Shane Meadows is given access to legendary band The Stone Roses as they prepare to reform for a series of gigs leading up to a triumphant homecoming series of concerts at Manchester's Heaton Park.
Part rockumentary, part concert film, Meadows is clearly the kid in the sweet shop here as he gets to spend time with his favourite band during their unthought of and seemingly impossible reunion.
The behind the scenes bits are fun and Meadows has access to some great historical footage, but it's when the band are jamming together that this film shines. Playing Waterfall in that tiny studio put a massive grin on my face.
A film for fans; partly about fans; made by a fan. Nothing truly insightful, but a fun time.
