We Are Twisted Fucking Sister! (2016)

In a time when the vibrant pulse of Punk/New Wave was seizing control of New York City's music scene, another rhythm was thundering from the suburbs, an undercurrent of rebellion and rock - Twisted Sister. The band's journey, riddled with mockery and adoration in equal measure, takes center stage in this sharp, spirited, and sardonically funny documentary, "We are Twisted Fucking Sister!". Dubbed by some as the greatest bar band in the world, and dismissed by others as a mere joke, Twisted Sister fought valiantly against the mainstream tide. They were the high-octane fuel in the engine of the suburban cover-band circuit, a confluence of Glam's grand funk and Metal's NY Dolls, a band seemingly trapped in a parallel universe that extended a hundred miles around the pulsating heart of NYC. Their battlefield was the sprawling network of monster clubs, each an oasis of sound and fury that could hold audiences in the thousands. For Twisted Sister, it was both a lucrative gig and a dead-end journey, a thriving existence within the confines of their suburban stronghold, yet a life offering little prospects beyond it. As the world knows, Twisted Sister would eventually shatter these confines, rocketing into multi-platinum stardom. But "We are Twisted Fucking Sister!" isn't a conventional tale of fame and success, nor a mere compilation of celebrity tributes and fanboy flattery. Instead, it is a wry, whip-smart chronicle of a decade-long odyssey to what would seem like overnight success. It's an exploration of the grit, grind, and sheer determination of a band that refused to be anything but Twisted.
