Benny & Jolene (2014) directed by Jamie Adams


"Benny & Jolene is what happens when low-budget indie mumblecore goes This is Spinal Tap.  While not quite a mockumentary, this film covers the same fruitful territory of disastrous gigs, incompetent managers, brainless hangers-on and inter-band conflict.  Yet while Spinal Tap were a heavy metal band powered by twin engines of egotism and stupidity, the duo at the centre of Benny & Jolene are hamstrung by shyness, naivety and an inability to speak up for themselves."
