The Go-Go's (2020)

The Go-Go’s: Directed by Alison Ellwood. With The Go-Go’s, Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Gina Schock. The Go-Go’s are the most successful female rock band of all time. This documentary chronicles the meteoric rise of a band born of the LA punk scene that not only captured but created a zeitgeist.

“This is a documentary about the 80u0026#39;s girl band which broke some glass ceilings and ends up breaking up themselves. When band members make their own doc or biopic, one is always concerned about the truthfulness or any slanting of reality. They do bang the drum hard on their groundbreaking nature. Itu0026#39;s a well earned badge but maybe they hit it too many times. As for the truth, they donu0026#39;t skip their drug-taking or the infighting. In that sense, they are relatively truthful. The years have mellowed them and given them introspection. That probably helps. At its core, this band fell into the same traps as most others whether girls or not. They may have run into different issues but the road they traveled on are very familiar. Also, they have some fun songs.”
