The TVI Take

Amazon's 2023 adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel about a fictional 1970s Laurel Canyon rock band. The structural commitment to the documentary-interview framing, the band reunited 30 years later to recount the rise and breakup, is more disciplined than the romance-drama register typically allows.

Riley Keough's Daisy and Sam Claflin's Billy render the central creative-romantic tension with the specificity the property needed.
