- Critics' reviews
-
-
"This is a well-made, observant documentary, with attitude to spare and plenty of justifiable laughs at the expense of its subjects (...) this would make the perfect double bill with 'This Is Spinal Tap.'"
-
"Spheeris shows us the insecurity, frailty and dim-bulb vacuousness behind the myth, in a film that is sometimes disturbing and always fascinating"
-
"Even those who would never (...) dream of attending a film about the seamy world of heavy-metal music are sure to find Penelope Spheeris's The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years of unexpected interest."
