Roger Waters - Us + Them

This movie/concert only deserves a ten star rating, anything lower is just not justified. I'm kidding of course, if you don't like Pink Floyd or Roger Waters it's your right to not like it, but reading from another reviewer that actually likes Pink Floyd smashing this movie down because there is too much anti-Trump propaganda or too much leftist propaganda is just ridiculous. What did you expect from Roger Waters? That's exactly what we (Pink Floyd addicts and fans) want to see. His music is about everything that goes wrong on this planet, and Trump is part of that. That said, Us + Them was a show I didn't see yet (live I mean). I had the honor and pleasure to see them five times live, with the biggest concert of my life in Berlin in 1990 to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall eight months earlier (half a million of people singing together that's just a moment I can't describe), so you could say I can judge them fairly, or at least compare the different shows. The truth is that Us + Them had me four times in tears, and that's not a bad thing at all, on the contrary. It's just a powerful concert, and that you can witness in the audience, which you see in several shots, they are clearly all touched by the whole gig . This show is visually very powerful, and musically it's just Pink Floyd, and that's by definition always perfect, the best you can get in music.

This was magnificent, period. Many of my current favourites isn't part of this concert, but hey, my Pink Floyd favourites has shifted through my life, so this was more of a collection of a lot of my previous favourites. I had the pleasure of seeing the other part of Pink Floyd live in Nice in the 90s, but possibly this was a even greater performance. I've always been a Gilmour fan, but the composing genius of Waters is without question the biggest reason for their formidable success. And most of Waters' lyrics has a sharp message. So, to all of you who think this was too politically biased, have you ever actually read the lyrics? Waters has always been on the left side in politics, with stark criticism of the establishment/system, of greed, of war mongering and everything else he finds wrong in this world. You could start by reading the lyrics on Animals - a little hint, it's not about animals at a farm.

So it's just plainly ignorant to give this concert a low rating just because you don't like his message. That is his privilege to do and what you should expect from him. Agreeing or not.

This film is a phenomal glance closer up to Roger Waters' magnum opus tour.

I was lucky enough to be there for the actual tour and this film stood up as about as close to that experience as you could get. The directing, cinematography and VFX are fantastic, the film looks unbelievably good!

All of the imagery is captured so perfectly that it's hard to imagine how it could be done better! It truly captures the feeling of being there, this film also provides a deeper, clearer look into the message behind the tour, told through the film presented on screen behind the band, which is delightfully presented in full screen clarity in this film, with parts added.

There is so much to love about this concert film, Roger still sounds fantastic, it's shot brilliantly, it has a powerful, poignant message about the state of the world, and of course, the music is beyond brilliant.

Don't miss the opportunity to see this masterpiece in cinemas! Fingers crossed they release this on 4k blu ray! Shine on!

I was skeptical about going to the cinema to watch a 2hr 15 minute concert film, however after leaving the cinema I have absolutely no regrets. This combined elements of cinema, theater and of course music. The accompanying images shown during the songs complimented the music perfectly, and the sets where incredible, especially the Battersea power station which was recreated during the performance of songs from the Animals (1977) album. (Everyones lowkey favourite floyd album) I will say I did find the 10 minutes of aggressive Trump bashing during the performance of Pigs slightly excessive, especially as Waters seems to want to promote peace and unity with his music, I did feel this could have used a little more subtlety. Apart from that, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this film, I actually found myself with tears in my eyes during the performance of Another brick in the wall PT 2, I styled it out by not wiping my eyes, and my friends still think I am a tough guy. The musicians were absolutely astonishing, all of them put in a flawless performance.

Highly recommended!!!

Genius. Everything about it. The production of his tour and the way it is portrayed in the film is fantastic. This is definitely something everyone should see, even if you aren't a "Pink Floyd Fan". Those that review this movie poorly, are strictly doing so because they feel the "right wing is under attack". This is not the case, it simply highlights the reality of challenges our world face and remind us all that there is no Us & Them. We are all humans and need to collectively make it work.

Plus the music itself is sublime. MUST SEE.
