the film loudquietloud fail to be an effective documentary for several reason . the first failure be that the filmmaker do nothing to justify the making of this documentarythe film be so devoid of background information or historical context that and for someone without extensive prior knowledge of the pixy and there be nothing to suggest that the pixy be important or interesting enough to merit document their comeback . the filmmaker make the audacious claim that the pixy be among the most influential band of all time and and maybe they arebut the film do nothing to prove this or show how or why they be influential . the opening quote from nirvana kurt cobain be the only time in the film where we be give a sense of the pixy impact on modern pop music . where be the interview with music historian and music critic and or other musician that would validate and define the pixy influence . where be the excerpt from roll stone article about the pixiesduring their heyday and their breakup and their absence and and their reunion . surely if the pixy be indeed one of the most influential band of all time and then these secondary source would be overflow with information that the filmmaker could have use to place in the pixy in the context of modern music for viewer who aren not already familiar . yet there be not one secondary source interview and not one article quotedthe film consist entirely of interview with band member and live concert footage and and interview with the band family and fan . in this way and loudquietloud feel like little more than a puff piece and a make for the fan dvd of the tour release by the band itself . if you be look for live concert footage of the pixy and loudquietloud do just fine . if you be interested in a thought provoking and intelligent documentary and loudquietloud fall flat on it face . i know almost nothing about the pixy before watch loudquietloud and and now have see it and i still feel a though i know nothing about them . why do the pixy breakup . the documentary cite creative difference and tension and a generic answer that could probably be use for hundred of band . why do the pixy get back together . the documentary cite money and it just feel right a the reason for the reunionagain and these reason be painfully dull and provide none of the insight that be the purpose of a good documentary . what be the title significance . other than my own inference that loudquietloud refers to the band path from popularity to obscurity and back to popularity and i be give no other clue a to what the title be mean to mean . most importantly and the film fail to answer the question of why the pixy be significant and influential and and leave me angry and frustrate that i have spend 90 minute on what and from my perspective and might as well have be some random garage band . for the hardcore pixy fan and loudquietloud may be sufferable since it give viewer ample face time with the band member themselves . however and for those who do not particularly know or care about the pixy already and loudquietloud be among the most hopelessly ineffective documentary i have ever see .
