Pavements

While passion didn't necessarily appear to be part of Pavement's persona, Perry feels obliged to overcompensate, declaring them to be "the world's most important and influential band" in theopening minutes of his charmingly unabashed celebration — perhaps to curry favor with the uninitiated, but just as intent to convince the band of their own greatness. It's impossible not to be wonover by the director's efforts, which come to include at least four separate modes of production: a shoot with the band as they prepare for their first concerts in 12 years in the fall of 2022, anoff-Broadway stage musical "Slanted! Enchanted!" starring Michael Esper, Zoe Lister-Jones and Kathryn Gallagher, a gallery show "Pavements 33-22" set up like the Whitney Museum where some of theband's members once worked as security guards and a shameless awards bait biopic "Range Life," with members of the band to be played by Joe Keery, Nat Wolff, Griffin Newman, Logan Miller and FredHechinger. – Variety

" Pavements is perfectly Pavement-y." – Exclaim!
"a brilliant précis of one of indie music's most influential artists" – The Film Stage
