This isn't a standard rockumentary - this is willful inscrutability, audacious pretension and artful interference.

Tomatometer
Rotten
A muddled, directionless splatter of concert footage, studio cine-verite, music-video abstraction and Haitian/Jamaican travelogue exotica that aspires to mythmaking but instead strangles itself on its own self-indulgence.
Ben Rayner, Toronto Star
Rotten
Lacks immediacy and actually seems designed for viewers who will discover and romanticize Arcade Fire 20 years from now.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Rotten
Kahlil Joseph's concert film profile of Arcade Fire is a disorganized mishmash.
Scott Tobias, Variety
Rotten
Devotees of the group will embrace it on video and perhaps in special-event-style theatrical bookings, but those with a casual interest will tire of it quickly.
John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
