I am a huge Phish fan and Trey phan, but this movie was so bad. I enjoyed looking into the songwriting process and how the band works together but the meat of the movie, treys backstory and progress, was pathetic. I mean I understand the idea was to focus on his growth and change and where he is now, but they totally ignored the actual value in his story. His growth is only a good story if you have a genuine context of a starting point. There were so many moments during the film where they were about to move into some real territory before quickly cutting away. It came off like Trey was trying to save face. And the directing was also so bad. I have no clue why you would use horribly awkward fake, forced conversation instead of an interview format. It just looks like they were told exactly what to say. Bottom line this movie seriously lacks substance. Felt like it was just a sad excuse to put Trey in a movie theater.
