I don’t know what moron decided that “Anvil: The Story of Anvil” wouldn’t be on the shortlist considered for this year’s best Documentary Oscar, but I hope they get roughed up by a shady Prague concert promoter. A positive rating of 98% — and the admiration of fans everywhere should have been enough.
I had assumed this would be like “Spinal Tap” — in real life form — and while I was partly correct, I didn’t expect the film’s incredibly huge heart. “Anvil” was made with love, and that — like the passion of Lips and Robb through all these years — comes shining through.
Rock.
