The 85-minute documentary takes a torpid, fly-on-the-wall approach, providing little context, few insights, and not enough music.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten
Watching the movie is not as much fun as listening to the old records.
Will Crain, San Francisco Chronicle

For fans of the seminal alt-rock quartet, the Pixies' reunion was momentous, but in the solid behind-the-scenes documentary loudQuietloud, the band comes across as considerably more muted in its enthusiasm.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten
Boring people who made extraordinary music, the Pixies are inexplicable. In attempting to demystify them, this backstage pass to their 2004 reunion tour achieves the opposite.
