A farewell concert film so entertainingly enthusiastic that it seems like an exciting greeting.

What makes this rock doc a little different is that there are interviews of other people in Sheffield who talk about Sheffield as a city and as a backdrop for Pulp's music. This movie will appeal to Pulp fans and those interested in Sheffield.

A bright, eccentric testament to the mutual regard that Pulp's members and ordinary Sheffield residents feel about one another.

Habicht never dives too deeply or casts his net too widely, but as a filmic love letter to Sheffield, the resulting doc is full of small delights for serious Pulp fans.
