Anvil! The Story of Anvil
Fame and fortune have eluded long-time bandmates, guitarist and vocalist Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow, and drummer Reiner (despite impressive testimonials here from the likes of Metallica and Motörhead), but amid the drudgery of day jobs and the disappointment of setbacks they never gave up. -- Anvil! is exactly what’s needed to slap the recent rash of doomsayer documentaries in the face – preferably with a studded, fingerless leather glove.
– Sam Toy, Empire
Some Scenes in Anvil are so outrageous, it feels like this must be a Spinal Tap sequel. It isn’t. These guys are for real. Anvil! The Story of Anvil: The year’s great rock movie!
– Peter Maiden, Rolling Ston
The only heartwarming film ever made about a heavy metal band.
– Kenny Turan, Los Angeles Times
Hilarious! Comparisons to This is Spinal Tap are inevitable and completely justified. Even if your taste runs more toward Mozart of Mel Tormé than Metallica, you’ll be pulling for Anvil every step on the way.
– Joanne Koufman, Wall Street Journal
