I had the pleasure of seeing Color Me Obsessed at the last screening at the Trylon in Minneapolis. And I can say, pretty much without hesitation, that this is the definitive version of the Mats story. It covers everything and I mean everything you could ever want to know about this band unlike they've ever been covered before. It presents so many great stories, people who were influenced by them, people who just love them, and a lot of new facts. I can think of three things regarding their album Tim alone which I have never heard before. And I've read everything on the band, including the online bible which is massive. To even compare this to the All Over But The Shouting book is just silly. Sorry, I hated that book. The author didn't even interview most of the people in it. Its like half made up of quotes from articles and reviews on the band. (To the person who complained about the article quotes used in the film. What movie were you watching? There were only three that I remember, the guys from Wilco and Drive-by Truckers, and one from the late Jim Dickinson, who would have been tough to get considering. While there were like over a hundred people in the film talking to the camera. You're like complaining about 30 seconds in a 2 hour movie.) The book has no flow, it sort of jumps around and makes no sense. I was so annoyed when I finished reading it. The movie though made me just want to be able to see it again. It tells the bands story from start to finish, using the albums as chapters. If you didn't know anything about them, you'd understand everything by the end. And though I would have loved to see clips of the band, they were never missed. No, really. I know it sounds strange but the story works without the music or the band. I'm not even sure how. But it does. Maybe the Mats have a really good story, and this is a really good movie. The director introduced the film and told us he was giving non-fans all the info they needed to discover the band as us die hards did way back when. And that the die hards didn't need the music, we'd already be hearing the songs playing in our heads during the film. He was so right. I've been a fan since 1981 and I think this is a great movie. I'm glad the bands story has finally been told.
