Dir. Rob Reiner · United States of America · English, Japanese
Prepare to crank those amps up to eleven.
"This Is Spinal Tap" shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.
"This movie, wickedly funny about the clichés of rock, has been shot in a jerky, rush-into-close-up documentary style that is itself a marvelous send-up of pseudo-authenticity."
— New York Mag/Vulture Staff
