Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 89% of 19 critics' reviews are positive. [6] Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the film a score of 73 out of 100, based on eight critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. [7]

Andrew Trendell of NME gave the film five out of five stars and wrote, "While Blur's last doc and accompanying live movie No Distance Left To Run was a portrait of a band celebrating their legacy and giving a nostalgia-hungry world exactly what they craved, this spiritual sequel shows a band simply supporting each other. Whether they return again or not remains to be seen. But even if they don't, this was one hell of a final fling." [8]
