I happened across this documentary on Netflix and I liked Nirvana and the Foo Fighters back in middle and high school so I thought I'd give this a watch. I'm so glad I did! I thought the story was fascinating - I had no idea that so many people had come and gone over the years. This documentary gave me so much respect for the band and really makes me want to see them again (saw them in 1998). I'd recommend this to anyone who even remotely likes a Foo Fighters song or even just anyone who was a teen in the late 90's that likes rock music. A great watch!

10/25/17. I watched this out of curiosity because I have heard of them over the years. I didn't realize that David Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana. But, he successfully transitioned to front man for the Foo Fighters. The music is all right, but I am just not used to Grohl screaming into the mike most of the time. That's passion for you! A decent music documentary that offers backstage inside talk and a generous helping of concert footage. Foo Fighters fans will probably love this one.

This documentary was at its best when talking about the revolving band members and in-fighting. It was during those moments, that "Back and Forth" rose above the average rock documentary. Despite my love for their 'Wasting Light' album, the last half hour descended into an extended advertisement for that album. This broke momentum with what had been an excellent doco up until then.

I'm watching this in 2019, and the above mentioned album released in 2011. 8 years and numerous albums have taken place during that time, which makes the latter half of "Back and Forth" seem dated. Still, if you're a musician or Foo Fighters fan, it's intriguing to see their recording and songwriting process.

For a band of its popularity and fame, the guys in Foo Fighters come across surprisingly grounded and down to earth here. It's a well-made documentary that should make both fans and music buffs happy.
