Blending 40 years of home movies, raw film archive, and intimate present-day verité, this is a poignant reflection from Amy Ray & Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls – the iconic folk rock duo. Fans will be amazed at the wealth of archival material from the 1980s and 90s, but what’s fascinating about the film is hearing how these two very different, complimentary personalities see their story, and in particular how they navigated being gay at a time when homophobia was a kneejerk reaction in the culture.
The rare confessional rockumentary that envelops you like a soft blanket.
Robyn Bahr, The Hollywood Reporter
An affecting portrait of two women who have stuck to their beliefs and, just as important, their loyalty to each other. Existing fans will be mesmerized, but non-fans like me should also get a kick out of It’s Only Life After All.
Elizabeth Vincentelli, New York Times
Brimming with previously unseen footage and refreshingly frank interviews with the artists, it’s an adoring opus befitting two long overlooked musicians and activists.

Köln 75
The true story behind the greatest solo concert in jazz history, this is Keith Jarrett's legendary 1975 Köln Concert — as organized by 18-year-old rebel music promoter Vera Brandes. Fun, inventive and feminist, it's the Bend It Like Beckham of jazz films.
Train Dreams
A lovely, ruminative movie set in the Pacific Northwest in the first half of the last century. Robert (Joel Edgerton) is a lumberjack, a taciturn man who comes to appreciate the life slipping between his fingers.
