Wow! Such a good movie.

Nice effects though.

Just so...so bad

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

In this wonderful documentary, Gorman Bechard presents us with an intimate and candid portrait of the inimitable Grant Hart. This film subverts the traditional format of the rock documentary and in doing so gives us a compelling, engaging and at times haunting look at an indie rock legend.Having Grant as the sole narrator of his own story was a great idea, as he is such an intelligent and articulate storyteller. Having others reflect on his career and influence would only serve to distract from what this film is trying to achieve. His story brims with wit, sadness, honesty and told through that slightly sardonic tongue of his we are given a real glimpse of the man who has given us such achingly gorgeous, rousing music through Husker Du, Nova Mob and his own highly eclectic solo career. Throughout the movie, Hart touches upon his days in Husker Du, his friendship with William S Burroughs , his passion for collage art, his heroin addiction and his family. We are also given a heartbreaking tour of his 'house' that really resonates emotionally when the narrative arrives at the this point in his story. The location settings throughout the interviews are really interesting, and touch upon various points of his life and career. There is also some wonderful archival footage from the Husker Du/Nova Mob days( the footage of Nova Mob performing 'The Main" is absolute GOLD), as well as 2 hours of extra interview footage on the DVD that is worth the price of admission alone.An often misunderstood artist, who it seems gets misrepresented in his former songwriter partners more well documented history, 'Every Everything' is a must watch because it attempts to set the record straight without resorting to clichés, resentment and he said/she said bullshit dramatics.Its hard not to sometimes view Grant as a somewhat tragic and sad figure, but this film is as uncompromising and forward thinking as its subject.

It is no spoiler who Grant Hart is until you see this film. This film is full of quotable lines from the man - and even if you hate Husker Du the lines are tremendous . If I ever was famous I would want to be just like Grant Hart. That is all I can say without spoiling the film. It is a tremendous look inside the mind of a simple guy who influenced people. I am not some huge fan, but the film made me feel like I knew grant Hart my entire life and as if him and I were just talking. I appreciate the film and it's achievement . This film is genius and as a BioDoc it is what may be the best ever. There was an accompanying record for the films release on Record Store Day 2014 and that was PERFECT. One may not realize how Grant Hart was a the front of a movement he created or how he was so influential and if you watch this film you would never know it. Hart's genius , the film's genius is that the man is not what one would expect. He is not bitter, he is not full of himself - Hart is a humble man with much to say. I almost passed out when he brought up the Smashing Pumpkins . The film is a journey to the center of Hart and most people do not know who he is-and I think he is happy with that

Greetings,A note on the film. "Every Everything" grew out of my desire to once again, after "Color Me Obsessed, a film about The Replacements," do a different take on the rock doc genre. I am a huge fan of Errol Morris, and love his "Fog Of War" in which he lets one man, and one man only speak for 100 plus minutes. I kept thinking this would be a great format for a rock doc. But what rock star could sustain a 90 minute conversation? What rock star could keep his ego in check, and really open up, really take us on a journey through his life? Now we had already interviewed Grant Hart for "Color Me Obsessed," so I knew he was a great interview. But it wasn't until Grant and I shared a table for breakfast in Brussels (when both he and "Color Me" were playing the same Minneapolis homage show) that I knew he would be the perfect subject for this format. Not only had he seen and done almost everything in rock and roll, he possesses a brilliant mind, and he's a great freakin' story-teller.But even I and my co-producer Jan Radder would hardly be prepared for the brilliance Grant brought to the table during our couple of weeks of filming in the Twin Cities. He laid it all on the line, and hopefully I have done his story justice.Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for hopefully seeking out the film.Gorman Bechard director/editor

If you're looking for your standard paint by numbers documentary format for just another average dull musician, then this movie is NOT for you!If instead you're interested in a vivid self portrait of one of music's most original and non-compromising artists of the last 30 years, whose pioneering band (Hüsker Dü) laid the foundation of a lot of modern music without much financial award, then I'd heartily recommend you catch up on the life and times of Grant Hart.The movie is told entirely by Grant, in his own very honest words, but is neither an ego trip nor a score settling exercise. We hear and see Grant today, as well as through a variety of flashback interviews, photographs and concert footage. Where the documentary breaks from convention is in not always conforming to the normal chronological structure when telling its story. By jumping around in time it keeps the viewer engaged on themes, rather than by the over used "album by album" approach. This is after all Grant's story, and not a Hüsker Dü documentary.The timing of the movie couldn't be better – Grant has just released a magnificent double album in 2013 to strong critical reviews. After many years, seemingly in the wilderness, this movie gives Grant a new day rising day in the sun, and hopefully more people will seek out his music because of it.
