"It's been the daddy of all rock reformations, Pixies airing all their classics with ferocity and somehow sustaining their enigma and this straight ahead on-the-road documentary capturing it all is totally riveting." The screeching, screaming, dark paragons of 1980s avant-primitive rock and roll wind up, 20 years, on being heart-warming. Now that's surreal." "The filmmakers captured live footage from a number of concerts and were given consistent, personal access to the quartet on and off-stage. "loudQUIETloud" also emphasizes the personal issues of each of the band members." "...A fascinating, all-access look at four people who were never quite as good as when they were all together. It’s about folks who didn’t know what they had, finally discovering what others saw in them." "A loving portrait of the rock band, by fans and for fans." "The influential alt-rock-punk band the Pixies is profiled in intimate, affectionate detail in "loudQUIETloud," a concert-reunion road movie that will undoubtedly create nationwide art-house exposure and a small craze in college towns... Includes a great deal of inspired music and a solid perspective on art and tension.... The sound is first-rate and numerous cameras provide a prowling appraisal of the band." "...To get down to brass tax, it is a very good piece of rock art. It is a slice of real rock life. The truth if I may be so bold, the truth about how unglamorous it can be, and how that doesn’t matter in the least." "Galkin and Cantor paint Pixies’ tale as an epic romance that was doomed from the start; when the lovers reunite (for a host of reasons, but not one of them love), the end result is, much like the film itself, both spectacular and sad." "...It is a time-capsule of a moment in time when, about 12 years after abruptly breaking up, the band re-united for a brief "warm-up" tour in an effort to find out if their reunion even had merit anymore. The answer, as the film shows, is a resounding YES." "A nice balance of well-photographed live footage and backstage anti-drama, loudQuietloud is probably the only all-access (or part-access, anyway) recording of the '04 tour, and it's valuable for that alone. Following the Pixies from their first rehearsal through the last night of their tour-ending New York City stint, the film contrasts the fans' passion and energy with the band members' cool professionalism."
