The Go-Go’s Dive Into Their History in New Documentary at Sundance

Some people might come to a Go-Go’s documentary wanting a purely fun, bubbly experience, based on the effervescence the group projected at its breakthrough peak in the early ’80s. Others might want a sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll tell-all, if they’re aware of the tensions and bad habits that led the all-female band to acrimoniously break up in the mid-’80s (before many off-again, on-again reunions that have followed). As the group and their director stopped by Variety‘s Sundance studio, it was clear they were happy that pop-punk frolic got its due in the new movie.
