Compelling, breezy, and ultimately a little bit too-surface level, Philipp Reichenheim’s compact documentary “Freakscene: The Story of Dinosaur Jr.” is exactly what the title implies, an overview of the titular indie rock band that saw critical success in the ’80s and ’90s before imploding because of competing egos.
Leaning more towards hagiography than tell-all, “Freakscene” does wisely allow the aging rockers — frontman J Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow, and drummer Murph — the time and space to discuss their formation and eventual dissolution, but the film is really framed around their 2005 reunion, which has lead to a seven-show run at the Bowery Ballroom and a steady output of albums including last years “Sweep It Into Space.” READ MORE: The 25 Best Music Documentaries Of The 21st Century So Far As told by the trio, Dinosaur Jr.
