With forty years of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many, leading multiple generations of fans to say, "the Indigo Girls saved my life." Still, Amy and Emily battled misogyny, homophobia, and a harsh cultural climate chastising them for not fitting into a female pop star mold. With joy, humor, and heart-warming earnestness, Sundance award-winning director Alexandria Bombach brings us into a contemporary conversation with Amy and Emily--alongside decades of the band's home movies and intimate present-day verité.

Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune "Life After All" has plenty of music, but the film is more interested in celebrating optimism and bringing viewers one step closer to fine. May 28, 2024 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com If you don't know, if you want to learn more, “It’s Only Life After All" doesn't get the job done, even at 2 hours long. Rated: 2/4 Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times Existing fans will be mesmerized, but non-fans like me should also get a kick out of “It’s Only Life After All.” Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider The benefit of It’s Only Life After All is in its dedication to including as much of that ephemera as possible. But there’s a bigger, more rewarding story here, too. One of acceptance. Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Rosalie Kicks MovieJawn The story is uplifting and I found myself moved by the wonderful contributions they have made not only to the music scene but also the LGBTQ+ community and their environmental activism work. Rated: 4/4 Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Stephen Silver Living Life Fearless As is the case in most documentaries about famous women from the 1990s, there’s lots of footage of talk show hosts being absolute dicks to them. But yes, you’ll hear a lot of their excellent music. Rated: 4.5/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

victoria c Great story but not well told. The Girls deserved better. But I enjoyed spending time with them. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Heather O Great music coupled a nice look into how they came to play together and how they have stayed together and continued to make music! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review mamakeiks Loved this. Left the theater moved and motivated to make change in this world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review James N Touching, personal, often funny reflection of two of the most talented underrated musicians in the industry. The time for their recognition is now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Devra B Such an honest documentary. I’ve been a fan since the 90’s, but wasn’t aware of the challenges that they’d been through. What an admirable duo! Highly recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review JFK-NYC A beautiful movie about two beautiful artists who created their own scene. Related: Jon Pareles is a DIVCK!
