This fascinating and assured documentary, directed by Stephen Kijak, tells the story of the group X Japan, a cultural institution in its native country, framed around the group’s 2014 reunion concert at Madison Square Garden.
New York Times
What drives [director Stephen] Kijak's film, and adds a universal dimension to a singular band's narrative, is the drama inherent in a group of strong personalities who live for music attempting to create and perform it together.

Pitchfork
A maddeningly vague primer.

Village Voice
3 stars out of 5 -- There’s quite a lot of adolescent-angst talk of death and blood, but some real pathos under the surface shimmer: particularly with drummer Yoshiki, the film’s main focus...
The Guardian
Rating: 1/5 --
When it comes to chronicling their accomplishments on film, all they have to show for themselves is 90 flashy minutes' worth of rockumentary clichés.

San Diego Reader
Even if you don't care for the band, Kijak's exuberant style which mirrors the music might win you over.

Boston Globe
Rating: 3/5 --
Good anecdotes - but the film's willingness to indulge the band's rampant self-mythologising can get tiresome.
