If 'Stop Making Sense' is a film of awe, 'David Byrne's American Utopia' is a film of ecstasy - the ecstasy of being alive, of creating, of connecting, of hoping, of healing, of uniting. That ecstasy is in every breathless moment of what we're seeing on stage, and every bombastic moment of the filmmaking itself. The only way this could possibly be better is if you were sitting in the Hudson Theatre yourself - and even then, you might lose the singular magic of this film. Great art speaks directly to the human soul, tells us that we are seen and that we are all in this together. 'David Byrne's American Utopia' is a celebration of everything that makes us human, and the dream that is what America could be. See it in a cinema, and pray they turn up the sound as loud as they can. 'David Byrne's American Utopia' is one of the best films of the year, and one of the greatest concert films ever made. - Daniel Lammin Read Daniel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-david-byrnes-american-utopia-one-of-the-greatest-concert-films-ever-made
