Indie music movies — what’s actually worth watching?

Hey everyone
I’ve been on a bit of an indie music phase lately and realized I really love movies that capture that whole DIY, emotional, imperfect vibe of indie scenes and musicians.
Not big glossy biopics - more the raw, intimate stories around music, creativity, and finding your sound.

I’ve found a bunch of “music movie lists”, but a lot of them mix everything together or focus only on mainstream artists.
I don’t want to waste time on movies that barely touch the indie side of music culture.

Here are some indie-music-related films I’ve already watched:
Once
Inside Llewyn Davis
Begin Again
Control
Some felt quiet and personal, others hit hard emotionally, but all had that indie spirit.
I also came across a couple of movie-by-tag lists focused on indie music and musicians, but I’m not sure how good they really are:

What indie music movies would you recommend? Docs, dramas, low-budget gems, anything that really captures the indie feeling.
