The Sparks Brothers

"With his charismatic (if exhaustive and relentlessly chronological) debut documentary, (Wright) makes a case that Sparks is the best band we've never heard of."

"Both exhaustive and exhausting..."

"Wright, the virtuoso director of Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver, among others, and an ace soundtrack assembler, is uniquely suited to make this tribute."

"The Sparks Brothers zips along at such a breezy, informational pace that you notice its length only in the final stretch..."

"At its best, The Sparks Brothers courses with the energy of one of your smartest friends talking your ear off about their favorite band."

"While The Sparks Brothers may be a bit too exhaustive for those merely seeking an introduction to the band, longtime fans will be thrilled by the deluxe treatment."

"It's so fun and thrilling to watch the movies finally love them back."

"Wright's film is guaranteed to, ahem, spark joy."

"Edgar Wright delivers a deliciously infectious, suitably absurdist ode to his unsung musical heroes."

"Wright knows some people won't want to watch a long documentary about a band they've never heard of, so he's sure to keep it funny and alive at every possible turn."

"You'll hope this won't be the last time that Edgar Wright feels compelled to give us a deep dive into one of his favorite musical acts."

"Funny, heartwarming, and thorough documentation of Sparks' career."

"The Sparks Brothers runs a whopping two hours and 15 minutes, though it feels as fleet as a three-minute pop song."

"Edgar Wright's sheer enthusiasm means that the two and half hours doesn't feel excessive at all..."

"A mighty convincing recommendation to start listening to Sparks."
