Overview
- The film, directed by longtime collaborator Garth Jennings, intercuts roughly 20 live Pulp performances filmed over two nights at London’s O2 Arena with four decades of interviews and a Jarvis Cocker voiceover.
- Reviewers praise the live footage for its energy and the archival material for its intimacy but say the film leans heavily on performance and stops short of fully probing why the band returned.
- Jarvis Cocker appears throughout the film reflecting on Pulp’s past creative turns and personal losses, including the deaths that he links to the decision to make new music and tour again.
- The release uses short, regional one‑night theatrical events followed by an exclusive MUBI streaming window later this month to reach audiences beyond the arena shows.
- The documentary frames Pulp’s late‑career revival as a victory lap built on the 2025 album More and Jennings’ unique access to unseen material, offering fans fresh live documentation even as critics call for a deeper exploration of the reunion’s meaning.
