Editorial Reviews
In honor of Pearl Jam s twentieth anniversary, Academy Award®-winning director and music journalist Cameron Crowe created a definitive portrait of the seminal band carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely and never-before-seen footage, plus 24 hours of recently shot concert and interview footage. Pearl Jam Twenty chronicles the years leading up to the band s formation, the chaos that ensued soon after their rise to megastardom, their step back from center stage, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them giving way to a work culture that would sustain them. Told in big themes and bold colors with blistering sound, the film is carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely seen and never before seen footage spanning the band s career. Pearl Jam Twenty is the definitive portrait of Pearl Jam: part concert film, part intimate insider-hang, part testimonial to the power of music and uncompromising artists.
DVD includes the feature-length documentary plus 26 minutes of never-before-seen bonus features.

The Cameron Crow documentary captures the intensity of Pearl Jam in the early years, along with the explosion of the Seattle scene. Crows creation is fluid and the editing is creative and visually stunning. The film clearly depicts Pearl Jam's relationship and contribution to other bands from the early '90s. The viewer gets to know all of the original members of the band, their personalities and artistic contributions. The film does an excellent job of explaining how and why Pearl Jam survived for 20 years. As a life long Pearl Jam fan, I have to admit there were a few events in the film that I did not know about. The film is full of different emotions and I laughed more then I thought I would. Overall, a must see for anyone who grew up listening to Pearl Jam.

I saw this doc at the movie theatre in a 1 night only showing. There wasnt 1 empty seat.Judging by the audiences reactions, everybody thoroughly loved this film.I have always liked the band, although not a die hard fan. This documentary is extremely well done , no surprise given the fact that Cameron Crowe is behind it. Nice mix of interesting dialoge and live footage. Also , quite a bit of humour. A fitting tribute in the 15-20 mins spent on Mother Love Bone and Andrew Wood . As well as Temple of the dog and comments from Chris Cornell. Just an excellent 2 hrs spent. Any moderate fan will really love this doc. I am looking forward to watching on dvd and hopefully seeing some extras too.

I started out not liking them when I was a teenager not because of age, but it seemed over little time.. there would be a Pearl Jam song pop up on the radio every time I took a 10 minute drive somewhere and usually always the same few songs. Well around here in these boondocks it hasn't changed too much at all and neither have the songs. I did, however, fall in love with the Yield album and found their self titled a welcome change. Other than that I blocked a lot of the other material out for the longest time. This doc really helped me understand the pressures of the popular music scene and I could relate to this band a great deal. Very entertaining and well edited. I find myself listening to them a lot more often.

Nostalgic value, but disappointing in content...
Let me start off by saying that I'm a big Pearl Jam fan - from their beginnings - and bought Ten in late 1991 before it "hit it big" after hearing "Alive" on local alt radio. Read more

Good Documentary but I would have liked the extras!
I saw Pearl Jam and Soundgarden open for Neil Young in 92 or 93 and then they slowly drifted off my radar. Then this last summer I got to see them both again. Read more
