NYC PREMIERE This music-filled documentary follows The Black Keys, from their parents’ garages in Ohio to global fame. Geeky Pat and popular Dan develop a unique musical chemistry and style influenced by Mississippi blues, and embark on tour in a minivan. During their rise, they gain fans, wives, acclaim, and well-timed boosts from collaborators like Danger Mouse, RZA, and Beck. When rock-star status and the pressures of fame strain their creative partnership, the duo reckon with the hidden costs of success. - Karen McMullen
