Review of Until the Light Takes Us (2008) by Joey B — 29 Sep 2011

Let me start by saying Black Metal is my favorite type of music. Now the review: I have followed the two main people in this film Fenriz & Varg for along time now - before Varg was in prison and the whole black circle in Norway was still up and running, before Euronymous was killed etc.

,so I know alot about Black Metal and this movie to me was terrific, sure it mainly focused on only a few main people but there screen time was brilliant, I loved hearing the stories Fenriz & Varg told, loved the music they used in this film and enjoyed all the other back story stuff that was mentioned - did Varg kill Euronymous because he thought Euronymous was going to kill him?.

..or is Varg lying and did it out of pure hate? the film lets you decide. The one thing the film does not bring up is that Varg is pretty much a Nazi and it shows him as a pretty quiet fellow but is Varg's on camera persona just a character he is playing? who know's.

Fenriz is rather funny in the film and made me laugh a few times. Overall if you enjoy this kind of music I think you will like this film, even if you don't like Black Metal I think the stories told should still be interesting enough to carry you through until the end takes you.
