Informative, Inspiring, beautiful

I was lucky enough to attend the first ever showing of Artifact at the Ryerson for TIFF. This documentary is an inspiring documentary about fighting for what is right. It not only is informative about the music industry it is also beautifully made. It takes the audience on a journey of struggle against a corporate machine and into the compromise that must happen in order for MARS to continue to do what they love, which results in a magnificent documentary and also the creation of the epic album This is War. Anyone who sees this will walk away with a new found respect for what a musician goes through to create the music that enhances our lives.

Interesting thematic but very confused delivery + way too long

Yes, the thematic is interesting but it is totally unclear what the whole thing's supposed to be. It's endlessly stretched by putting in 'statement' after 'statement' of people who say something about something that has nothing to do with the story, if there is one. People are badly introduced, it takes forever for the audience to figure out who is who. Lots, the majority actually, seems to be filmed after the fact, playing like it was 'documented' at the time which it is not.

Summary: could have been really good but it's so not. Cut it down in half at least, explain for crying out loud what the real issues are - if they got sued for 30 million dollars would you please so kind and explain why exactly? Everything's so nebulous and unclear it's really tiring to watch. Well, I made it to the end and it took efforts to hang in for so long, be prepared.

Eye Opening, Fantastic!

A very well made documentary about the band 30 Seconds to Mars' struggle with their record label. A very informative documentary that opens your eyes to the shysters in the music business. Redundant at times, but it needs to be redundant to show the audience what a stressful ordeal and struggle it is to come to a compromise with the shady record label.

Jared Leto is very talented, an excellent singer and a true artist all around. I have a much bigger respect for him now. Hopefully more people will see this documentary and will come together as a whole to be the change in getting these money hungry record labels to change the way they do business. I feel very sorry for musicians now, I had no idea it was like this. 30 Seconds to Mars could have kept fighting, but they understood you have to pick your battles. And they won in what they wanted and they also won on an even bigger scope by showing the world in this documentary how awful record labels are.

On a final note, I can truly say Jared Leto seems like a really cool guy. I was an actor in a short film once and he was cool with letting the production shoot right outside his house. Not many actors/musicians would be cool with that kind of thing. He truly does fight in many ways for the little guy. Not many like him in the business. He deserves all of his good fortune. Do yourself a favor and see this documentary right away. It's fantastic!
