'The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal' world premiere at TIFF

well you know it's 40 years compacted down into 4 hours you know but the overall takeaway is that we you know we were friends first and foremost that's how we started playing together and we over the 40 years we held on to that friendship most important thing and tried to make a bunch of good music in the meantime it's a story of uh kind of togetherness but also uh determination you know we we um decided early on we're not going to stop and we're just going to keep uh together it was about making music we loved making music together and there was a chemistry that we wouldn't have with anyone else um so I think that that is very um that's really brought out in the film I hope people come to understand why this band mattered so much for so many people and for so long and for the indelible Mark they've made on Canadian culture
