Mistaken for Strangers (2013)

In the pivotal year of 2010, the rock ensemble The National stands at the threshold of their most monumental tour, a testament to their decade-long journey and five albums of critical acclaim. Suddenly on the precipice of expansive renown, lead vocalist Matt Berninger extends an invitation to his younger brother, Tom, to join the vibrant tumult of the tour crew. Tom, a budding horror auteur with an insatiable appetite for heavy metal, opts to embark on this journey, armed with his trusty camera. Finding himself adrift in the whirlpool of indie rock, Tom grapples with the trials of existing in his brother's imposing shadow. This tension ignites the latent younger brother within him, leading to a tumultuous symphony of drinking, grumbling, and a constant struggle to reconcile his lofty aspirations with the weighty duties of the tour. The resulting film is a compelling narrative about brotherhood and the relentless pursuit of crafting something distinctly personal. This isn't just a story about a band; it's a poignant exploration of the complex dynamics of family, ambition, and the creative process.

Mistaken for Strangers is a comedy movie featuring Matt Berninger and directed by Tom Berninger.
