    It's not perfect but captures some of the chaos of the birth of Punk in LA

I remember seeing Darby Crash in the documentary The Decline of Western Civilization and thinking the guy was a total mess. This is a fictional story of his life and they make him far more coherent then he appeared. Of course this is Hollywood fiction not fact so I just had to put all my images of the guy to the side.I liked that the movie included many of the Germs’ songs with concert scenes. The film captured a lot of the rebellion and chaos of Punk Rock when it exploded in Los Angeles and I enjoyed that the most. Shane West was the lead as Darby Crash. Again it portrayed him as this guy with a plan for his music and life which just contrasts so much with my own personal image of him. Ultimately it was entertaining and that’s what is most important.

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2009*

I've seen WWDIS three times, and I'm giving it four stars. This is why:The first star is for tenacity. This movie took something like ten years to make, years of believing in the project, searching for funding, not taking 'no' for an answer -- and all done by outsiders to the movie system. That takes some balls, you know? So kudos to Roger Grossman and Michelle.The second star is for integrity. This is a labor of love. It isn't tainted by the exploitation that infected other punk movies from the past. It also helps that the original band members were apparently involved, to a degree, in the making of the film. But I would have liked to have seen more of the importance of Malissa in Darby's life, as well as Bosco.Third star goes to the acting, most particularly Bijou Phillips and Shane West. Nice job.Fourth star is for portraying the L.A. punk scene, period. Just as then it was ignored by the music industry, today it's apparently of little interest to the film industry. That's too bad, because the energy and originality of that time was amazing. The soundtrack, by the way, is terrific.The weaknesses:  the movie is too short (perhaps due to financial considerations), and I wish they had focused much more on what it must have been like to have been a young, closeted gay man in a scene that was becoming increasingly macho and intolerant. Darby also comes off in the film as a sort of generic, misunderstood rebel... it would have been truer and more affecting to see the darker, more insecure and controlling side of Darby.Look, if you love the Germs music, you should definitely see this movie. If you're curious about the L.A. punk scene, see this movie. For further info, I'd recommend the book Lexicon Devil, and if you can find a copy of The Decline of Western Civilization (Part 1), do so. And of course, buying the Germs album. I think a lot of Darby's secrets are answered in his lyrics.

    Brilliant and sad....a life meant to be.
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2016*

Let me begin with the disclaimer, I have never been interested in punk rock at all. That being said, why did I buy this movie? I love biographies, I will never know how accurate this was or how much was true but as a movie this was exceptional. This was a troubled young man if you ask me who needed more then those around him were giving him. Was he a "genius" I am sure to some extent and somewhat damaged, too. How his "friends" could not see him spiraling into some very dark place is beyond me but they seemed to emerge from it. This is what I would call a sad and brilliant film. Now for the performances. all of the players were exceptional and did great. Shane West, the lead who did Darby Crash so well was outstanding, I have always said that this guy is a star and just never got the right jumping off point. this was it to me but apparently never noticed, Bravo, Shane! Why not 5 stars....he had a relationship with "Robby" I would have liked that to have been explored more. it was just kind of left hanging in the air and taken for granted. That seemed to be big in his life and should have been touched on some more.
