Let's be real: you're not watching this with your family unless you're a music journalist or your teenager is that kid who wears band t-shirts for bands that broke up before they were born.
Breadcrumb Trail is a well-made documentary about Slint's Spiderland, an album that's hugely influential in post-rock circles but completely unknown to normal humans. The ratings suggest it's quality work for its audience—but that audience is vanishingly small.
If you or your older teen are genuinely into experimental music, music history, or the creative process, this could be enriching. For literally everyone else, this is a hard pass. It's not bad; it's just aggressively niche.
The WISE score reflects reality: this is too specialized and dated (a 2014 doc about a 1991 album) to recommend broadly, even though it's probably excellent for the seventeen people who care about Louisville's early-90s math rock scene.
