(Documentary,Music) An in-depth look at the Canadian rock band Rush, chronicling the band’s musical evolution from their progressive rock sound of the ’70s to their current heavy rock style.

Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage is successful in thoroughly describing Rush’s history of producing progressive rock and resisting mainstream trends that were untrue to their principles and sound. Sam Dunn has done an excellent job in rummaging through all the materials necessary to show us how the band held true through 36 years of existence. Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage is an ode to the fans, many whom have stuck behind the band through four decades. For non-fans, this documentary can serve as an explanation of the band’s cult status and success, but may be brushed off as uninteresting altogether.

Dunn’s anthropology background and visual style is perfect for framing Rush’s history in context for fans. The use of rare footage of the group as teens offers insight into how uncool these guys were in school and framed their commitment to their band and sound. Rare home footage such as the moment Lifeson told his family he was leaving his senior year of high school to focus on the band are among some of the gems included in the beginning of the film.

Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival
