Stop Making Sense

The greatest concert-on-film ever made. Being a fan or not of the Talking Heads doesn’t really matter, this is a journey from song to song throughout the playlist. Rewatchability is shockingly high for what is essentially a filmed concert.

First time I watched this I put it on in the background while putting together a TV stand. Not an ideal first viewing so I made amends by watching it in the theater for a Saturday matinee with five other people. Both times Demme and the Talking Heads provided all the energy.

“Same As It Ever Was.”

My first Concert-movie was an electric helluva time. I’ve had no prior experience to Talking Heads, very minor in knowing some hits, and this blew me away with how much it enthrals you.

Stop Making Sense is an incredible time, every songs a banger, the entire soundtrack is absolutely insane (obviously) and as a matter of fact, the choreography is absolutely insane, David Byrne knows his shit on how to strike a pose.

For it being my first ever concert film, it’s great, should I have had some more knowledge going in despite the fact it’s a great introduction? Yes, would have made it so much better. Will I watch another of an artist I like? Absolutely.

Stop Making Sense overall is an incredible picture, does it deserve best on the app? No, do I think if you haven’t seen it you are missing out majorly? Yes. It earns itself an incredibly solid-
