This lovingly hewn documentary untangles the story of seminal Memphis band Big Star, through every misstep, to the legacy central to the legend.
Spearheaded by Alex Chilton – an ungovernable self-saboteur with godlike guitar skills and the voice of a crooked angel – and Chris Bell – introverted, sexually repressed, forever in Chilton's shadow – the band wrote the book on how not to make it in the music business, and here the entire narrative arc is plotted with testimonies from friends, family, colleagues and critics.
