pauldonnelly64 Great film for those who've come to know and love this extraordinary band. The only sad part is watching them play and interact with each other and realizing they are no longer creating great music(together, that is.) Although the film offered the occasional insight as to why the guys called it quits, the film focused on the music and didn't get bogged down in any kind tearful melodrama. As stated in my summary, it was very upbeat and the boys kept it real(did we expect anything less?!) Saw the midnight premier at the Somerville Theatre and it was definitely well received by all those in attendance. A must see for any Dispatch fan.

anoelle81 I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pre-screen the last DISPATCH and I must say, as a "late comer" fan, I am truly saddened that I missed the ride. I came to Dispatch long after they stopped touring and I was unable to attend their final show. I can honestly say that after watching the documentary I understood not only the three men that were Dispatch, but I also began to see whisperings of my own life. This was a story for the ages. Although the title carries the name of a band the story is one of friendship, perseverance, and the ability to let go. Not only would I recommend that every Dispatch fan watch the movie, but I would urge anyone with a revolutionary heart to watch as well. I watched three amazing musicians push themselves, against all mainstream support, to become one of the best independent bands in music history. From last DISPATCH I take away a fuller understanding of the three that are Dispatch as well as a renewed sense to strength in my own beliefs.

Stypula22 The Last Dispatch is not a music documentary that you have ever seen before. This is more than the story of a band- it is an interesting look at the role of music in contemporary youth culture. The film examines many of the dominant issues in today's music industry- from the Napster revolution to the role that music can play in politics. More than anything, though, this is a universal story- about the importance of the relationship between music and people. This film succeeds in examining the power that music holds over its audience while avoiding the traditional music documentary clichés. Anyone who ever loved a band, or even just one song, will love the Last Dispatch.

babybluefetish I was also fortunate enough to attend the preview screening of "the last dispatch" movie. The film celebrates the lives of three of the most amazing, independent, live musicians...following their story and career within the band Dispatch. The film is not all "glitz" and "glam" like other Hollywood music films, but instead, it captures the real emotion of it all. I highly recommend this film to anyone who was a fan, anyone who attended the last dispatch, and to any other music fan. It's really fun, and also very musical. The reunion weekend in Boston (july 28-31) is going to be incredible, and I am definitely going to make it out to the premiere weekend just for that.
