Music Box: Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately? (2025)
Overview
Director Amy Scott's intimate documentary follows Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz through the band's meteoric 1990s rise and the emotional weight that came after their debut 'August and Everything After.' The film draws on band archives and candid interviews to trace the creative and personal pressures behind their follow-up album 'Recovering the Satellites.' The Leans Traditional label here is modest and unsurprising: this is a nostalgia-forward rock documentary with no ideological agenda, no social commentary scaffolding, and no DEI framing visible in the available evidence. It is simply a portrait of artists navigating fame, delivered in the straightforward observational style the music documentary genre favors.
