Devo documentary

"For American Gen X’ers of a certain stripe, Chris Smith’s 'Devo' is a trip through time, but even viewers unfamiliar with the deadpan music group are likely to emerge as loyal converts" 

"Filmmaker Chris Smith's look back at the New Wave band is a mix of commentary, irony, kitschy collages, and oddball optimism — in other words, it's maximum Devo" 

"Though fans of the musical group might enjoy this trip down memory lane, the film never rises above it" 

"Chris Smith’s documentary about the jump-suited robo-rock avatars of De-Evolution is as much fun as its subject (...) The film traces the band's music, its videos, its roots in the embers of the counterculture, its freak success, and its big message, which remains prophetic and often misunderstood" 

"[It] joins a string of standout recent films like 'The Sparks Brothers', 'The Velvet Underground', 'Summer of Soul' and 'Little Richard: I Am Everything', to name just a few, demonstrating that we’re living in a golden age of music documentaries" 

"Though fans of the musical group might enjoy this trip down memory lane, the film never rises above it" 

"If you’re a Devo fan, you’ll like this, but even if all you know about them is 'Whip It', check it out anyway. You might be surprised and become a new fan"
