After the Screaming Stops

A must see, even if you're not a Brosette, if you have siblings, you can relate to it. Absolutely brilliant, a masterpiece...and the two most gorgeous leading men!

This is spinal tap 2018, but better as it's not scripted. These poor idiots don't realise that people are laughing at them, they both genuinely believe they are frank Sinatra/ Robert Denero

This movie is what This Is Spinal Tap was trying to achieve but so much more. The Goss brothers unintentionally put together one of the funniest films of the last 10 years. Matt Goss' insane similes, metaphors and anecdotes are akin to Michael Scott of The Office and really must be heard to be believed. It spoke volumes about how brief and fleeting fame can forever skew a person's perspective of reality and a sense of their own importance. Ultimately Bros were huge for an incredibly small amount of time but seem to perceive themselves to have been at the level of the Beatles and their earnest belief in that makes them both comic and tragic. The battle of egos over the smallest detail in what turns out to be a not exactly sold out show at the shed that is London's O2 is akin to Christopher Guest's 1984 classic. Compelling in its madness and definitely worth a watch.

The old adage, never work with children or animals should maybe be extended, in this instance to include family as well! Added to that the pursuit and accolade of fame and all the pressures that entails, you have yourself a very interesting documentary. What Bros lacked in musical recognition they made up for in personality which sadly, at the time, backed up by a hefty battering from the British Press, (the likes of which had probably only been experienced by Iconic figures such as Princess Diana, and we all know how that ended) lead to a 'Marmite' culture; you either loved them or hated them. At the centre of this piece are a couple of very sensitive souls trying to overcome the traumas of their pasts and reconcile long buried grievances. You only have to read the autobiographies of both Matt and Luke to know that this documentary has been kept short, sweet and to the point. There's an awful lot more that could have been covered but then we'd be reviewing a mini series! It is laugh-out-loud funny (even for a rather sceptical looking gentlemen sitting in front of me!) and I actually nearly jumped out of my seat to applaud at one point! The music has been chosen very carefully for this film and surprisingly it doesn't contain many Bros songs! I really hope people put their prejudiced ideas to one side and give this film a watch. There are always going to be haters but for me, its 10/10 (over and over again...!)

Great honesty shown by the identical twins, one apparently bald, one apparently sporting a full head of hair. They suffer from full on Gallagher and Davies syndrome. Yet their articulacy goes against the expected grain of a boyband. Great respect for allowing this to be exhibited, really wish I had gone to the O2 reunion now!

Wasn't in the UK when theses two were big and never have I been so grateful. These two man boys are still children. They are both self absorbed and selfish. Matt is a bully beyond belief. Luke would be better off without him in his life. Hope they never ever make music together again.

As a fan this was a hard watch. Seeing what went on before the reunion was truly heartbreaking but a journey I feel needed to be taken. This film has it all, laughter, tears and brutal honesty. Even if you aren't a fan this is a must see film which documents the fragmented lives of twin brothers whose relationship was deeply affected after the end of the a band. Well done to all involved in bringing this story to life.

An emotional, warts and all look at the roller-coaster lives of Matt & Luke before their 02 come back concert in 2017. This isn't a music documentary film, more the opposite the trials and tribulations of two brothers getting together are experiencing turbulent times and loss. I was fortunate enough to be at the premiere screening at the lff and both Matt and Luke were there. Once the film started I didn't take my eyes away from the screen, and at times forgot that I was in the same room as them. Their accounts and quirks kept me gripped, as well as their own words spoken with truth and in a way that if you are a sibling you can relate. These two men are very private and although we see more of their personalities than ever before, I don't feel like I know anything new that I didn't know already,just a better understanding of their journey.... And how really they are worthy of so much more recognition in the UK. The music which accompanied the documentary was appropriate, and stirred emotions.
