I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002). 1h 32m | Unrated

“I am fairly confused reading some of the reviews… this was NOT a fly on the wall, eye opening documentary at all. It was something between an EPK and a longform video. Have those of you making such comments seen any real docs? This film looks like what it is… a great photographer who does not know how to tell a story in a cut, just from his still images.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou learn very little about Wilco and if you are not into the music, it is not watchable. There is 33 minutes before any bit of drama or story begins to unfold. All the hyped record label struggle is REFLECTIVE and only one single phone call unfolds before your eye. I found the film great to look at but hard to watch. It looks like something that was controlled, curbed and guided, not a REAL documentary. I happen to love YHF and the most enjoyable part of this film was hearing those songs but it was a complete distraction to the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome Kind of Monster is a FAR FAR superior film and I cant stomach the music of Metallica. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart is flat, uninspiring and in general does not serve the story it is said to represent…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eash =o)”
