Hailed by Michael Moore as "one of the best music documentaries I've seen" and by Pitchfork as "the funniest, most meta music movie since SPINAL TAP," MISTAKEN FOR STRANGERS is a truly hilarious and touching film about two brothers, Matt and Tom Berninger. Approaching 40, Matt, the lead singer of the critically acclaimed rock band The National, finally finds himself flush with success. His younger brother Tom, 30, is a loveable slacker - a filmmaker and metal-head still living with their parents in Cincinnati, Ohio. On the eve of The National's biggest tour to date, Matt invites Tom to work for the band as a roadie, unaware of Tom's plan to film the entire adventure. What starts as a rock documentary becomes a crowd-pleasing journey about family, ambition, and the creative process.
