| Pros |
Fine music/performances, a quirky stage concept and excellent cinematic execution. |
| Cons |
The picture quality feels like it could've been remastered a little better. |
| Bottom Line |
Jonathan Demme and the Talking Heads STOP MAKING SENSE and create a concert film which will have you dancing in front of your TV screen. |
| Pros |
Good sense and usage of simple artistry. |
| Cons |
Genius Of Love in a bad key, and the drummer's horrible ebonic-speak. |
| Bottom Line |
This will be a good view for anyone seeing the Talking Heads in concert for the first time. |
