Better Than Something is an exciting and intimate portrait of Memphis-based punk musician Jay Reatard, who toured the world and released dozens of records over the course of a 15 year career that began in his mid-teens. Original and never-before-seen footage documents his self-made journey to iconic garage rock star, with colleagues, friends, and family speaking candidly about Jay’s vibrant and complicated life. Jay Reatard himself – filmed just nine months before his untimely death at the age of twenty-nine – shares his experiences both on and off stage, with all the humor, savvy, and pathos one can expect from such a prolific and vital artist. A FilmBuff Presentation. MPAA Rating: NOT RATED
