With Spike Jonze's new Beastie Boys documentary dropping today, the reviews have begun to trickle in. Here, you can see what critics are saying about Beastie Boys Story ahead of its debut on Apple TV+.
Beastie Boys Story is directed, produced, and written by Jonze - a longtime friend and Beastie Boys collaborator - alongside founding members Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz. The picture ultimately finds Diamond and Horovitz detailing the story of the group and 40 years of friendship through a live documentary experience.
Complete with archival footage of the legendary trio, the film reveals how now-deceased member Adam Yauch helped the group find their voice after years of nonstop partying.
You can get a better feel for the documentary by watching the trailer below. Beastie Boys Story releases on Apple TV+ on April 24.
" Beastie Boys Story is less seamless, but more personal, than a classic documentary."
"There are moments when Beastie Boys Story has the aura of a heavy sigh, laden with the knowledge that the skateboard long ago skidded off the half pipe. Still, if you've ever felt even a scrap of affection for the band, Beastie Boys Story has its charms."
"The Beastie Boys were genuine artists who transcended the limits of any specific musical genre and invented one of their own. Beastie Boys Story provides a charming and poignant explanation for how they pulled it off."
