What We Do Is Secret

Despite its thorough attention to historical detail and the obvious love of all involved for their shattered subject, What We Do Is Secret is, in the end, awfully sterile for a movie about the Germs.

While What We Do Is Secret may not be remembered for much more than West's performance, it's an impersonation worth saluting.

The battering live shows prove West's dedication to the role, but as always there's too little insight into both music and musicians and too much period design

"What We Do Is Secret" makes a bid for entering Crash into rock'n'roll mythology.
