Review of The Stone Roses: Made of Stone (2013) by Matt M — 22 Jan 2014
A documentary on the reunion of one of the biggest and most influential bands in modern music, The Stone Roses. Shane Meadows, who shot the film, brings his own passion to the table and allows his love of the fan to be a guiding light in the making of his documentary.
The result is infectious as the music and the energetic feel of the piece create an atmosphere of excitement that seems to genuinely represent the very same excitement that followed the news of a seemingly impossible reunion.
On top of that, The Stone Roses: Made of Stone allows an intimate behind the scene look at the band and looks at its history from another point of view. A truly remarkable stand out documentary as far as rock and roll music documentaries go, in the end it kind of comes down to the people's personal tastes.
Those who aren't fans of the Roses will criticise Meadows for failing to restrain his own adoration of the band, while those who love the Roses will only be able to say moan the absence of hits like Love Spreads in the soundtrack.
