Stans

If you've been through life's ups and downs and found strength in Eminem's music, STANS will speak directly to you. This isn't just a documentary about an artist - it's about the impact his words and music have had on real people. It's raw, emotional, and honest. Even if Em only appears for a short time, the stories and emotions shared by his fans are powerful enough to carry the film. For anyone who's ever felt understood, inspired, or saved by his music, this is a must-watch.

So cool to be in a packed cinema knowing everyone there has something in common. Super professional documentary that really hit emotionally at times, and there was a lot to relate to. My view of Eminem actually got even better after watching it - mad respect for the guy. Definitely recommend it!

Stans is a limited theatrical release documentary that explores the lives of self-proclaimed Eminem superfans. The film offers a heartfelt and surprisingly uplifting look at fandom, focusing on how Eminem has positively impacted the lives of his most devoted followers.

The documentary highlights their passion in a positive light whilst also discussing some of the negativity they've received. Some have Eminem tattoos, others dress like Eminem or travel around the world to see him perform but what unites them is the profound influence he's had on their lives. Many credit Eminem with helping them navigate personal struggles, using his music and story as a source of strength.

While Stans isn't primarily a documentary about Eminem himself, it does trace key moments in his career to show how different eras of his music shaped and inspired his fans. The film features interviews with Eminem, Dr. Dre industry colleagues and celebrity stans like Ed Sheeran which adds a fun and insightful touch.

As an Eminem fan, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the positive impact he's had on people from all walks of life especially considering how problematic some of his lyrics can be. The documentary is filled with nostalgic throwbacks and even a few singalong

Though it may not be the kind of film you'd expect or even need to see in a cinema, I'm glad I experienced it on the big screen as it's a touching tribute to the power of music and connection.

Was expecting a documentary about Eminem, but all i got were some stans talking about what it meant for them.. Snooze fest, but i got throuh it, waiting for something better to happen, that never did.

One dude said he didn't go to school for 3 months after Proof died? Like WTF, man? How can you parent let that happen?

I'm a big fan of music docs and this one was as good as any. Loved the unique twist on the story by making it about super fans. Very cool how they found so many interesting characters and eminem is of course fascinating.

Would suggest to anyone who likes music docs, hip hop, 90s culture, or anything about human psychology and growth. Will stream it again when it's out.
