The Playlist reviews the new documentary about singer-songwriter Leslie Feist, Look at What the Light Did Now.
From its almost Lynchian beginning—filled with seemingly random cuts, out-of-focus shots, flashing lights, and swirling points of color at a live show—it's clear that Feist documentary "Look at What the Light Did Now" won’t be your standard rock doc. Instead, director Anthony Seck's project quickly sets itself apart with an aesthetic that veers between art film and hipster craft fair, a tone that perfectly matches Feist's own music, itself a mixture of polished and smartly produced tracks and earthy, quirky additions. It takes the music documentary standards of touring and recording and combines them with elements that would seem more at home at the Whitney than your average indie rock concert.
