Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 87% of 15 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10.[5] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 72 out of 100, based on six critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[6]

Andrew Trendell of NME gave the film five out of five stars and wrote, "While Blur's last doc and accompanying live movie No Distance Left To Run was a portrait of a band celebrating their legacy and giving a nostalgia-hungry world exactly what they craved, this spiritual sequel shows a band simply supporting each other. Whether they return again or not remains to be seen. But even if they don't, this was one hell of a final fling."[7]
