Wish they would have addressed the allegations more

I'm not sure what to think of them. It shows how much they enjoy making music and it is somewhat catchy. It is a different listen that is for sure. Their daughter seems to love them and their fan base is insane. I believe they are popular because they appeal to the disenfranchised. And. That is a huge crowd. Now. To the elephant in the room. Their adopted son has made some damming allegations against them. And. I do believe there is truth to them. I honestly wish they would address them more and earnestly. The documentary is awfully self serving. I get it. They did earn everything they have. And. No doubt they had their naysayers. They'd videos are definitely unique and ambitious. Not everyone's cup of tea. Again. Good documentary. These two are music geniuses. Whether you like their music or not. I like it more than I thought I would.

Good looking, informative but a puff piece.

Didn't know anything about Die Antwoord before this. I don't particularly like their music although it does strike as being interesting and unique.That said the visuals for this documentary are very striking and I'd probably are the main reason that would recommend watching this.Some people seem to think this is merely a puff piece to offset the allegations made by 'Tokkie'. I don't know anything about that so cannot comment on it further. I would say that 'Ninja' looked particularly 'medicated' during the filming.On the whole, I found this to be interesting and informative with enough artistic merit to warrant a recommendation.

THEY HAVE A PET LEOPARD!!

Die Antwoord are important and interesting in every way that is important. Without band like this, music would plunge into a putrid sea of mush that is modern pop music ( need I name names )..What a joy it was to see how they came about with this very HONEST insight into their evolution.Yes its all marketing and hype but Die Antwoord make it look fresh and interesting. Their sound is very unique, sharp and thought provoking and because they are from Cape Town, South Africa display a naked rawness which this film highlights perfectly.Bring it on - The Answer indeed.PS.. the W in their name is pronounced like V.
