This documentary delivers so much more than expected. Cycles of abuse and human resilience, friendship and transformation are all handled with real care and sensitivity by the director Leigh Brooks, all to the backdrop of Life of Agony's musical journey from the 90s to today. I didn't know the band before watching the film but am a new fan. I highly recommend this film.

Not knowing a whole lot about the bands music and the impact it's had on their fans over generations, I absorbed the movie more from a human interest perspective. The direction and editing transforms the film into way more than a band movie.

The story of each of the band members and their struggles with domestic violence and sexual identity separate this movie from any other band documentary I've seen.

The director Leigh Brooks covers the topic of Mina Caputos transition with compassion and depth but doesn't make this the entire focus of the movie. It's very much a collective piece about the entire band with great insight into their individual backgrounds and struggle.

Check it out, you won't come away disappointed, whether you know the music or not.

I was never a big fan of Life Of Agony, despite having seen them many times as they often played with some of my faves. But this doc gave me a big respect for them (they truly lived up to their name) and Mina's story is quite intense.

Gritty, honest, and at times uplifting, here's a look at a hard working band full of likable members who all have something relevant to say. Loved the old footage from Lamour and was great to see LOA playing in front of some huge audiences.
