Foo Fighters: Back and Forth (2011)

Genre: Documentary

Directed by: James Moll

Cast: Dave Grohl, William Goldsmith, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel

Running time: 101 minutes

This rockumentary covers the history of the Foo Fighters, a band that Dave Grohl created after his previous band, Nirvana, was permanently terminated by Kurt Cobain’s death. Through personnel changes, egos clashing, substances abuse, personal conflicts and increasing success, Foo Fighters: Back and Forth offers a captivating view into a little piece of what I love to call rock n’ roll.

Dave Grohl is an artist that has grown on me over the last few years. At first, I did not care much for him, but, through time, he has gained a fan in me. And this film made a nice contribution to my appreciation of what he has to offer.

This documentary is very entertaining and compelling. There is some humor, and some tender moments. I highly recommend it for any fan of rock music.
