AFTER THE SCREAMING STOPS

Cinemavixion Review

"After the Screaming Stops" offers a poignant and often heartbreaking chronicle of the Goss twins, Matt and Luke, as they navigate the turbulent waters of their fractured relationship and the lingering specter of 1980s pop stardom. Directed by Joe Pearlman and David Soutar, this documentary delves into the raw aftermath of fame, laying bare the emotional scars left by meteoric success and subsequent estrangement. With only weeks to prepare for a highly anticipated reunion concert at London's O2 Arena, the film captures the palpable tension and vulnerability of two brothers attempting to reconcile their past in pursuit of a shared future. The narrative is compelling, weaving together archival footage with intimate interviews, painting a vivid picture of ambition, regret, and the enduring power of familial bonds. The critical reception, highlighted by a BAFTA nomination and a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, attests to its impactful storytelling and emotional resonance. It’s a must-watch for fans of 80s music and anyone interested in the complex dynamics of sibling relationships under the intense pressure of the spotlight.
