The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal

Love this documentary series by Mike Downie. He does a fantastic job of illustrating the band's roots from their youth in Kingston Ontario to their epic journey captivating Canada in their farewell tour and final performance.

The doc series provides context on how they came to be, their friendships, their internal conflict and their drive to deliver music with Canadian content. The only knock against it is some of the added guest interviews - for example, too many cameos from the trailer park boys and Justin Trudeau, but there are some nice surprise guests too. Otherwise a fantastic series for lovers of music, Canadian content and rock history.

I watched all 4 episodes (an hour each) within 2 days. If you love the Hip be ready to binge. Highly recommend!

What a beautiful homage to the quintessential Canadian rock band the Tragically Hip.

I loved how well the documentary captured Gord Downie and how much I learned about the rest of the band.

The Hip's journey is told in an intimate and engaging way that only made me love the band even more. The last episode had me balling, even more so than when I watched the last Hip show live.

The interviews with the band members, family, friends, associates, and many Canadian icons helps tell their story

This is a definite must watch for any Canadian and it made me realize how much I miss The Hip. What a beautiful tribute by Gord's brother.

Rest in peace to Gord Downie and to The Tragically Hip.

We are all richer for having seen this. Thank you so much to The Tragically Hip for sharing this with us. You have brought so much joy to our lives and continue to do so, please keep sharing we appreciate every moment with you! This is the greatest music documentary I have ever seen, the behind the scenes of the rise of The Tragically Hip to the top of their game was amazing to watch. It brought back so many memories. If this film doesn't bring out emotions in you, you're already dead inside. I want to thank every member of the band and everyone involved with the making of this masterpiece!!!!

So well done that I hope people discover this band that may have missed them. I never cried so much my entire a life. It is a beautiful piece of work.

If you are Canadian rock fan, between the ages of 40-55, this if the most important band of your adolescence/early adulthood. This documentary hits at the right notes, tugs on your heart strings. It's so raw and emotional.

If you are a rock fan this is an absolute must see. I think this doc may finally get the hip the profile they deserve outside of Canada.

600 words? Really? What happened to brevity. Nine is going to read 600 words I've written.k. 600+.

Just watch it.

I loved this 4-part documentary. It was very moving and so great to hear the songs, see the performances and hear from the band, their family, and related musicians & talent.

I grew up in Toronto during this time but never saw the band in Canada as I moved away in the mid 1990s. I feel super fortunate to have seen them twice overseas in intimate venues during their peak and sang & sweated it out with everyone else. This was therefore a very emotional documentary capturing that experience. The band wrote some wonderful songs and the documentary did a great job highlighting Gord Downie's unique contribution as a performer, signer and wonderful lyricist.

Thank you to Amazon/MGM, to the band, and their families for making this film possible. Yours - a home sick Canadian.
