"Dig the slip cover art as well as the packaging everything about it is visually pleasing! Appreciate that they distribute and release such cool titles couldn’t find this documentary anywhere other than Vinegar Syndrome Ive been dying to check this out!"
"Damn, damn, damn. Beautiful release of a moving documentary, packed with special features. I can't recommend it enough. For fans of Jay, and for those unfamiliar. Jay was like atomic energy squeezed into a human frame, and I was so excited to see this release get the care it deserves. Kudos to those involved. RIP Jay Reatard"
"Love this documentary. Gone way too soon. Wonderful release."
"For Jimmy Lee Lindsay, life was a mosh pit. Whether it was growing up among crack addicts on the rough side of Memphis, or his years in the rough-and-tumble underground rock scene of the '00s, the man the world came to know as Jay Reatard always had to fight in order to create, to grow, to live, to rise above."
"I’m a massive Jay fan so this was must snag. I must admit I was slightly disappointed that it wasn’t jacked up with more unseen extras and even the booklet contains stories that I’ve already read but I’m an obsesso on Jay and there’s not much to that hasn’t already been said or done. The movie was hard to track down as it was part of the soundtrack vinyl only this is a welcome and official release. Hope more people get to see it as a result!"
"Big Jay Reatard fan. Nearly all his music is fantastic. Seen this documentary a few times, very entertaining. He was a very talented dude. Kevin the Ghost approved."
"Really glad to see this doc get it's own separate release! Jay was an incredibly talented musician that seemed to never stop working and was constantly inspired. This documentary really lets you get a good glimpse at his creative process! So glad that more people can get their hands on this"
"Better Than Something: Jay Reatard is a raw and intimate portrait of the late punk rock icon, capturing both his creative genius and turbulent personality. Through candid interviews, rare footage, and live performances, the documentary offers an unfiltered glimpse into Jay’s life and the relentless drive behind his music. It’s both a celebration of his talent and a sobering reflection on the struggles that came with it. Fans and newcomers alike will find this film a powerful tribute to an artist who burned brightly and left an indelible mark on the punk scene."
"Amazing documentary of a music icon"
"Amazing doc on the inimitable Jay Reatard, who's BLOOD VISIONS is masterpiece! I saw this during its limited theatrical run and it absolutely knocked my socks off, so I was ecstatic to see this (beautiful) release. Highly recommended!"
