Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Foo Fighters: Back and Forth is worth clearing space for. Foo Fighters: Back and Forth resists the urge to oversimplify a subject that deserves better. FOO FIGHTERS BACK AND FORTH chronicles the 16 year history of the Foo Fighters: from the band's very first songs created as cassette demos Dave Grohl recorded during his tenure as Nirvana's drummer, through its ascent to their Grammy-winning, multi-platinum, arena and stadium headlining status as one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. The involvement of Dave Grohl and Chris Shiflett signals a level of access rarely granted. It hit screens in 2011. Documentary work at this level requires access that is hard to get and storytelling that does justice to it — Foo Fighters: Back and Forth has both. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Foo Fighters: Back and Forth is the kind of documentary you immediately want to recommend to someone else. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. The access the production gets is remarkable, and the storytelling does full justice to it. Worth watching in order, from the beginning.
