The Take
Meeting People Is Easy is not worth watching. It delivers raw tour footage of Radiohead's 1997-98 grind yet packages the exhaustion as cool, pretentious detachment that signals deep fandom and existential cope.
Buyers chase the identity of serious music fans who romanticize artist suffering over actual performance or insight.
The Verdict
The doc shows backstage fatigue and travel monotony without turning it into compelling cinema or fresh commentary. It leans on 1998 rock-star detachment that now reads as dated posturing rather than revelation.
Skip the mope. Watch Stop Making Sense instead.
