It Might Get Loud - 8.5/10
Documentary-style profile of three rock guitarists, Jack White, Jimmy Page, and The Edge. Really interesting to see the different backgrounds and philosophies of the three, from the all out love of tech and effects of Edge, to the almost complete disdain of technology and a bare bones 'back to the roots' approach of Jack White.
One thing I especially liked about the movie is how when profiling the artists the filmmaker stayed focused more on their early and formative years. It would have been too easy -- and too cliche -- to do a quick take on Page or the Edge as they were just starting out, and then jump to a lot of their later stuff. But the film kept coming back to their roots and going deeper, and thus it really gives you the sense that you're getting into what makes them tick as artists.
