The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal

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.

Wow. I assume that most people outside of Canada do not know the band the Tragically Hip. I was first introduced to them by my Canadian cousin back in the 90's. Their music was always a great combination of bangers and beauty. But the lyrics... the lyrics! So stunningly profound and beautiful, but entirely without presence.

This documentary is a love letter to fans everywhere. It reveals the beauty and the artistry that the Hip displayed throughout their career.

As a writer, I am always drawn to the written word. Often I laugh at the words of others. Sometimes I am inspired by what I have read. But with Gord Downie's words I am left feeling amazed and in awe. I often get overwhelmed knowing that what he has made seem so simple, is just genius flowing from a 4 colored pen.

There are no sufficient words to rate this homage, because the only person who could write them has been taken from us too soon.

Great documentary about a band more people should know about, and even if they aren't your cup of tea, a great story about friends and family and creativity.

From their early days in high school, to the farewell tour that concluded in their hometown of Kingston, this four-part series does a wonderful job telling the story of The Tragically Hip to fans and newbies alike.

The conglomeration of the American music industry has starved us of many international bands and their talent. I was glad to have access to MuchMusic to see the Hip. I encourage you to find the time to watch this documentary and be inspired.

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.

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!!!!
