To someone who's not a big radiohead fan this film may be boring and uninteresting due to the fact that it doesn't really introduce who the band is and what was their journey. One of the most interesting things about this film is the fact that it has absolutely no narration over it. Akk the dialogue comes from filmed interviews, news clips, or stuff that was filmed of the band by the doc crew. What comes out of it is a phenomenal film which documents what was probably one of the most difficult periods for the band as they nearly split up during the world tour of their incredibly successful OK Computer. Some of my favourite scenes from any film come from this documentary and it remains as one of the most interesting films I've seen.

If you like Radiohead, watch this movie.It's got awesome behind the scenes footage of the band, rare footage of early versions of songs, and some hilarious moments with fans. It was shot during their tour after OK Computer and before Kid A. Obviously this was a very pivotal moment for the band. Really cool to see them play some parts of songs that would come out much later. I wish there were more Radiohead documentaries and movies, but this is really the only legit one. As a result, I have seen it many times. Very dank stuff indeed. I'm going to continue to type because I need ten lines for my review, but if you aren't convinced by now I'm not sure what else could make you watch it!

'Meeting People Is Easy' belongs to the most capturing portraits i've ever seen in which a rock band is the subject ! The era of Radioheads musical escapades of the late 90-ies is sooo well captured and The Techno-influenced rock-sound of Radiohead matches soooo well with the camera-work of the film crew.the fragmented style & the sound-scape of the movie are in this case no way irritating but very essential in depicting the atmosphere and wow what a ' Big' band it is ! creativity pur sang ! Very inspirational... even 10-years later on , this work shines bright in it's field ! in ANY field , btw...!I love it , I love it & I love it !well done Guys !

This highly cinematic documentary forces one to rethink the way s/he may think of life as a "rock star". Radiohead's unique stardom is portrayed in a dark and highly neurotic light. The pains of dealing with an incessant press, constant live performances, and travel around the nation bear down on these five men and produce tension that borders on nervous breakdown. When watching this film, the intense style transports this tension to the viewer, making it difficult to watch. But it adds insight to the band that has changed Rock music forever, and lets one understand better exactly what they are doing and going through. Well worth the headache and depression experienced afterwards. Meeting people is truly not easy.
