4.0 out of 5 starsRock And Roll Excess Juxtaposed With Extreme Poverty And Religious Fervor: A More Intimate Look At Kings Of Leon
By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on September 29, 2011
Format: DVD
When I look at a rock documentary these days, I always wonder how much appeal the movie would have outside a performer or group's regular fan base. Kings of Leon are certainly a talented quartet that have taken the music scene by storm and I definitely think that this inside portrait will appeal to their fan base. A truthful, if somewhat episodic, document of the group's success and back story--Stephen C. Mitchell's "Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon" has a warts-and-all appeal that makes for interesting storytelling. The group has a candor and openness in front of the camera that involves the viewer as a part of the action. But the focus of the movie kind of jumps around with no specific narrative purpose. I still thought this was a vital and alive piece that offers quite a bit of insight into Kings of Leon and the roots that made them who they are today. I don't know if it will necessarily garner new fans--their music, while featured, isn't necessarily a focal point--but it has a satisfying fly-on-the-wall feel for those wishing to understand the boys more personally.

If you are shopping this title, you undoubtedly already know that Kings of Leon is comprised of three Followill brothers (Nathan, Caleb, and Jared) with their cousin (Matthew). While the brothers grew up in a strict Pentecostal upbringing following their preacher father around the country, the main part of their clan resided in rural Oklahoma. The documentary spends almost as much time with the Followill's extended family as it does with the principle group and it's an intriguing approach. The family is dirt poor and still live a meager lifestyle at the outskirts of Oklahoma City.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Very Candid, Intimate, "Rock Doc" as Told By The Kings of Leon Themselves, Along with Their Father, Mother, & Relatives.
By Gary Covington on December 6, 2011
Format: DVD
As KOL's lead singer Caleb states "A lot of people were telling our story, but they got it all wrong, so we decided to tell our own story, so people would know the truth." And that is what this Rock Documentary is all about, a very well presented story & history of the KOL as told by the members themselves, along with Caleb, Nathan, and Jared's Divorced Father & Mother and many of their relatives. It also includes input from KOL band member Matthew, who is a 1st Cousin to the 3 brothers. All 4 members of the KOL bear the same last name of Followill. This "Rock Doc" begans at a Followill Family Reunion in their hometown of Talihina, Oklahoma, which is located in rural Southeastern Oklahoma, in a county that intersects with the Arkansas border. Talihina is a American Choctaw Indian name for "Iron Road"

In this "Rock Doc" Caleb covers the process they went through in selecting a name for their band. Then Caleb clearly states that their name "Kings of Leon", was chosen in honor of all the band members' Granddad, Leon Mitchell Followill. Their Granddad & Grandma, Leon Mitchell Followill & Mildred Ledell Brown Followill are both in this "Rock Doc". They reside in the KOL's hometown of Talihina, Oklahoma.

The KOL were raised in a strict, Southern Pentecostal background, the 3 members whose father was a Pentecostal Evangelist Preacher, traveled throughout the Mid South, conducting revivals at Pentecostal Churhes. I was raised in a strict Southern Penetecostal background myself, so I can definitely relate to what they went through while growing up. Legendary Louisiana Rocker Jerry Lee Lewis was also raised in this type of environment to a certain extent. One of my uncles was a Pentecostal Preacher. It's a very stressful job, people call you 24 hours a day/7 days a week.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsFascinating Docu
By Spider on December 9, 2011
Format: DVD
There are several naysayer critics floating around the world-wide-web, presenting in newspaper print who wail loudly for "more narrative" in this documentary. They just don't get it. Real, raw, and rousing, this story defies the polished British-accented narrator in favor of local flavor. Talihina Sky provides a glimpse into the multitude of forces which shape the Kings of Leon. Fundamental religion, fanaticism, and utterly dour socioeconomic conditions name a few. The parallels which compare their roots to the rock paint an eerily ironic picture. Quaking music fans and pentecostal parishioners dominate the scene. If you desire a cohesive, well-outlined history lesson of the band, pull up the Wikipedia article. Otherwise sit back with this film and become enlightened to the band's inner spirit. And watch life roll by.

5.0 out of 5 starsA great film!
By Austin on December 27, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
This documentary delves into the bands roots in Oklahoma and their earlier band days. We see home videos, behind the scenes footage, and we can get a better idea of each band member's personality and what role each Followill plays in the band. I'm a huge KOL fan so I enjoyed watching this film very much!

LOVE THIS DOCUMENTARY!!!

my husband is like a cowboy and I'm a rocker so I was pretty happy when We watched this documentary on TV and he fell in love with Kings of Leon then I decided to get him this for Christmas.

I got a little bit scared when I read that ITALIAN is the language LOL I didn't understand that, but it's in english (phew) and we can't stop watching it, such a cool documentary you don't want to miss it.

"My kids are gonna see this ... NO... NO"
