Pavements

Rated 100% Fresh! Alex Ross Perry's gonzo documentary/fiction hybrid about the greatest band of the 1990s! Pavements is a movie about Pavement the band—among other things. The latest film from acclaimed director Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) is a documentary that may or may not be entirely true, may or may not be totally sincere, and may or may not be more about the idea of the band—or any band—than a history of the short-lived, passionately loved, commercially marginal Nineties American alternative group Pavement. This unconventional film about a highly unconventional band incorporates a stage musical, rock biopic, gallery exhibition, archival footage, and contemporary observational footage to create a film as irreducible, uncharacterizable, and entertaining as the band and its music. "Captures the artistry, ingenuity and humor of its subject better than an encyclopedic history ever could." – Little White Lies "In an age of musical biopic plenty, this semi-ironic, postmodern take — which runs through Perry’s part drama, part documentary, and part mockumentary — may be just what the doctor ordered." – MashableDocumentaryPT2H8MRated 14A2025-05-30
