Documentarian Bradley Beesley, the friend and neighbor of Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, goes deep into the world of this well-known art-rock outfit. Through new and old footage and interviews, Beesley portrays Coyne as a mostly average, hard-working guy who still lives in his home state of Oklahoma, but also shows some drama; band member Steven Drozd even shoots up heroin onscreen. The film also features live performances and appearances by famous fans.

3/5
Having been involved in helping the band craft its decidedly bizarre visual imagery for so much of its history, Beesley's film is perfectly in sync with the Lips' unique vision. Go to Full Review

3/4
What really fuels the movie, however -- aside from the constant, buoyant presence of the band's leader, Wayne Coyne -- is its warts-and-all approach. Go to Full Review

Finn M Oct 18, 2012 This film leaves me with only one question: Did Wayne Coyne's wife inspire the band name?
