4 stars, 'Set in a UK seaside-holiday camp, the ATP festival invites alt-rock’s
figureheads to curate adventurous weekend line-ups for variously wasted
and duly enraptured muso-phile hipsters. Shot by Jonathan Caouette (
Tarnation),
Vincent Moon and festival-goers, this documentary’s live-wire
cut’n’paste approach captures the anything-goes DIY spirit of the
weekender. There are drawbacks: among others, live cuts of a grizzly
Grinderman, a devilish Dirty Three, a mesmerising Portishead and Iggy
Pop crowd-surfing against the dying of the light are cut too choppy and
short. But DVD extras compensate, including full tracks alongside a
“key” to online footage from future ATPs as it appears. All this, and
tomorrow’s parties too? Bargain.'
