100% Tomatometer 9 Reviews
DIG! XX is the 20th anniversary extended edition of the rock documentary DIG!, which adds new narration by The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Joel Gion, features 40+ minutes of never-before-seen footage, and brings this epic tale through to today. DIG! XX looks at the collision of art and commerce through the star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry of dueling rock bands -- The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Through their loves and obsessions, gigs, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their chance at a piece of the profit-driven music business, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry.

Sara Stewart Book & Film Globe DIG XX is, more now than ever in its XXtreme form, one of the best music documentaries. Rated: 4/5 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Great rock docs don’t just capture a moment, they frame it, interrogate it, and maybe even place it on trial. Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Dolores Quintana Santa Monica Mirror DIG! XX is magnificent and fiery, an artistic telling of a story that is frequently misunderstood because of our society’s tendency to put a premium on obedience rather than free will, even in art. Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Differing measures of commercial success, drug addiction, personality conflicts, and so forth conspired to gradually turn these separate camps of besties into enemies. Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Rodrigo Perez The Playlist “Dig! XX,” however, consciously or not, starkly demystifies the f**ked-up tortured artist fairytale. Because in a Blur Vs. Oasis-like mode of toxic competition and rivalry, it’s always the bigger *ssholes who always lose to history in the end. Rated: A- Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider After all these years, this documentary is still as jarring, hilarious, and deeply strange as it ever was, and these new additions only make this shocking story even more astonishing. Rated: 8/10 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
