Gorillaz are the most successful animated band of all time (outstepping The Beatles in that particular contest). This new documentary from Denholm Hewitt - son of the band’s artist Jamie Hewitt - is a film that pays full tribute to how Gorillaz have become such a staggeringly diverse, experimental music project. Through some engrossing on-location filming and electric editing, Reject False Icons is a fascinating appreciation of the band’s artistic journey, paying tribute to some of their most fondly remembered collaborators and asking questions about the role creativity can play in a world that seems set against everything you stand for.
