A beautiful celebration of music and stagecraft - this is David Byrne showing off what he can do, delving into the back-catalogue and his new material with an immaculately staged presentation. It's weird that this is the third filmed version of "This Must be the Place" that Byrne's done (between this, "This Must be the Place" the Sean Penn Nazi Hunter movie and "Stop Making Sense") but it still lands strongly. There's only one Oh Yeah This is Spike Lee section (which is presumably exactly that way because Byrne wanted it that way) and otherwise it's Byrne celebrating with a group of musicians and an audience, and it's enthralling all the way
