Diving deep into the legacy of Counting Crows, this intimate portrait of the band and their frontman Adam Duritz is not a nostalgic trip through the 90s, but rather a reckoning with identity, mental health and the cost of living in the public eye at the crossroads of fame. Told with rare access, the film traces Duritz and the band’s journey from accidental icons to artists reckoning with the mythos and machine built around them.

With vulnerability, grit and a signature poetic edge, this film is an unflinching portrait of an artist whose rise to fame was as fast as it was disorienting. Intimate interviews, never-before-seen footage and moments of aching honesty give shape to a story that is at its heart, not just about the music — but what it means to preserve your own artistry above all else.—Cara Cusumano
