a-ha: The Movie

"An air of self-loathing and regret hangs over this 40th-anniversary documentary..."

"There’s a notably maudlin tone here... that complements the film’s central idea, which is that A-ha still have huge potential. If only they could stop fighting."

"This film more than satisfactorily fills in gaps for longtime fans and newcomers alike."

"The documentary reviews the band’s chronology like a slavish yet intermittently lucid Wikipedia entry."

"The most compelling throughline of a-ha: The Movie is its level of detail and frankness."

"This is almost a really intriguing study of a very particular kind of first-world creative anxiety..."

"(The film's) brutal honesty makes it brutally depressing."

"(A-ha) continue to tour, and to clash, though not dramatically enough to animate the film’s narrative arc."

"(It's) no Some Kind of Monster, but enjoyable nonetheless."

"Far from a puff piece, a no-holds-barred, melancholy, often surprising examination of Norway’s most famous — and underrated — musical export."
