On April 2nd, 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with New York Magazine calling the event "a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again." Shut Up and Play the Hits is simultaneously a document of a once-in-a-lifetime performance and an intimate portrait of Murphy as he navigates both the personal and professional ramifications of his decision. -- (C) Oscilloscope

Review For Movie Shut Up and Play the Hits
It's sometimes touching, sometimes really loud, and often both.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe Overall the film falls flat.
Danielle Goldstein-Time Out "Shut Up" is graceful in its depiction of the performance, neither uncomfortably intimate nor shy.
Jon Caramanica-New York Times Shut Up and Play the Hits manages to effectively display the power of that final concert while putting the band's leader into thoughtful cultural perspective.
Ian Buckwalter-NPR LCD Soundsystem's die-hard fanbase will appreciate this concert documentary, but few others are likely to think it demands big-screen viewing.
John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter Much like the band's self-conscious synth-pop itself, Shut Up is initially satiric but ultimately disarming in its emotional resonance.
Rob Nelson-Variety A must for fans of LCD Soundsystem and about fifteen minutes too long for anyone else, this is an entertaining enough exploration of walking away from success and fear of failure.
Catherine Bray-Film4 a penetrating and moving documentary that captures what was weird and special about Murphy and his band, and was extra weird and special about his decision to kill the band.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Will have a much stronger resonance for fans than for those unfamiliar with the band's music. But even newcomers will find the exploration of fame and artistry unusually personal
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com True to the live experience - taking in tears, joy, sweat and humor - of one of the most influential and acclaimed bands of a generation.
David Moynihan-Digital Spy Like Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz, this is a documentary about a farewell concert.
Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London A bittersweet confection - a gorgeously shot concert film that cuts repeatedly between the near-desperate abandon of the show and Murphy, in his apartment the following day, wandering around in his pants and petting the dog.
Henry Barnes-Guardian [UK] Surrounded by the most clichéd and craven kind of New York and UK hipsters, journos and schmoozers, Murphy remains adorably low-key, sincere and witty.
Antonia Quirke-Financial Times Southern and Lovelace skilfully interweave footage of the wondrous, thunderous racket of the gig with Murphy's morning-after reflections on why he bailed out at the height of his success ...
Marc Lee-Daily Telegraph The moody hipster solipsism won't be to everyone's taste, but this is a fitting monument to an influential band.
Ashley Clark-Little White Lies An engaging portrait of a frontman unwilling to play the rock star.
Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman Not only a sad farewell to a great band, but to life as Murphy knows it.
Stephen Kelly-Total Film A great concert movie framed around a substantially less enthralling interview.
Dan Jolin-Empire Magazine A fitting tribute to a band that has somehow become emblematic of our times.
Phoebe Cook-The List James Murphy never says that his music will sound different after LCD Soundsystem disbands, so why fearfully anticipate a change that we don't even know is coming?
Simon Abrams-Slant Magazine The type of celebratory nail in their coffin that makes the end feel more like a party than a funeral.
Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net Murphy is one hell of a frontman, and LCD Soundsystem is a deliriously exciting concert act.
