Summary: LETDOWN
Review: The idea behind Grant Gee's film, "Meeting People is Easy" may have been brilliant but this long awaited and much anticipated documentary failed to hit it's mark. The concept of how boring life on the "OK Computer tour was just turned ot to be a boring video about Radiohead. Despite some flashes of great camera work and some brief sounds of unreleased music, this documentary is a big disappointment to any Radiohead fan. I would leave this one out of the "Shopping Cart" and save those hard earned pennies for the new album. Please write me for a more detailed review,Thanks

Summary: Not what you probably expected.
Review: Before seeing this, I thought it would be a video full of interviews with the band, insight on the album, and little biographies of each member. But when I saw shots of cars on a freeway, people going up an escalator, and moments of Thom Yorke just sitting backstage from what appears to be a hidden camera, I realized that it goes perfectly with the album. It does not need any explanation by the band. The off-beatness of the video is perfect for the cd. The stimulating shots is genius with the music. It makes the music that much more emotional. It shows that the band keeps themselves in a constant reality check. They don't want you to like them because they look cool, or because they sell a lot of albums, they want you to see the message, and this is the perfect video for that.

Summary: Grant Gee tunes in perfectly to Radiohead's renegade genius.
Review: Have you ever wondered how Thom Yorke comes up with unabashedly subvesive lyrics such as"...like a cat tied to a stick in frozen winter shit"? After watching "Meeting People is Easy" directed by fellow dissident Grant Gee, you may still be wondering, but you will also be spellbound by Gee's visual integration of those and other maddeningly disarming and often indecipherable lyric scenes from the operatic vision of this band. I dare you not to be mesmerized by the visual display of the essence of what it means to be a critically acclaimed, relatively "super" group that doesn't believe one single word of the hype that, organically, must accompany that level of success. It's an all-encomassing task to keep your ethical head above water. Which Thom DOESN'T do in perhaps one of the most enjoyable (and, of course, horrifying) moments of a two hour music video that's ten times easier to watch than most any other 3 minute clip on music TV.

Summary: Audio Visual Genius
Review: If someone turned on this video for one minute they might say something like "What the hell is this c**p." But like a Monet painting, you have to look at the whole thing to appreciate it's genius. This video brutally shows how boring and repetitive it is to be a rock star. As a bonus, it stars Radiohead, the greatest band in the world.

Summary: Torture
Review: Jlong has it right. I like Radiohead, but this movie is a boring piece of pretentious c**p. You get to see Radiohead being pissed off with doing interviews. Twenty times. To save money: instead of buying the movie, look at their record sleeves whilst jiggling them around a bit and get a friend to whine about nothing.

Summary: An Oscar 4 Gee's film would go well with Radiohead's grammy
Review: If you get this video, prepare to become entranced by the superb filmaking of Gee and by the radiohead music which so many of us love. You also see how Yorke and his fellow bandmates cope with the success they have experienced and how these five guys from Oxford are really about the music and the fans. There is one drawback to the film if you live in America: you realize that the American music "machine" is keeping great bands like radiohead from succeeding in it's market. If you listen to radiohead you step back and realize that almost all other countries recognize radiohead as the greatest band in the world and we don't even give them sufficient airtime on our radio stations. The thing that stuck with me the most was when Thom said that the US alternative rock radio format is so stale that when you listen to it, it sounds like a fridge buzzing. The moral is: work hard to find the good music. I applaud Gee for his film and expect him to win best documentary at the Oscars next year, that's how good I think it is. Buy this video now.
