We Are Twisted f***ing Sister (2014)

Genre: Documentary / Musical

Directed by: Andrew Horn

Cast: Dee Snider, Jay Jay French

Time: 136 minutes

This 2014 documentary film chronicles the rise to stardom of rock band Twisted Sister, from their beginning on the bar scene of the New York area to their long-awaited record contract.

Twisted Sister has never been a band for the meek and the faint of heart. In the tradition of glimmer rock, these grown heterosexual men were consciously performing on stage dressed in women’s clothing, wearing loads of makeup and accentuating their long hair. Their shows were loud and in your face, and this documentary reflects that, from its title on down to its content.

We Are Twisted Fucking Sister is a compelling documentary about a band totally dedicated to its craft. Twisted Sister persevered and worked tirelessly to make it to the promised land of the music business. They never let any obstacle stop them from reaching their goal. That, in itself, is inspiring.

This documentary is filled with interviews and live performances. Fans will adore it; open minded people might discover a band worth listening to.
