25 years after its premiere we bring you the classic concert film...
This concert film is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of the genre. American film critic Leonard Maltin rated the film four stars out of four in 1984, describing it as "brilliantly conceived, shot, edited and performed" and "one of the greatest rock movies ever made." While another film critic Roger Ebert wrote "the overwelming impression throughout Stop Making Sense is of enormous energy, of life being lived at a joyous high...It's a live show with elements of Metropolis... But the film's peak moments come through Byrne's simple physical presence. He jogs in place with his sidemen; he runs around the stage; he seems so happy to be alive and making music."
