Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: Maybe it's a tall order for any conventional documentary to get its arms around a man whose 30-minute-plus jams routinely broke free of their moorings. – Nicolas Rapold, New York Times, Jul 31, 2014

Rotten: The abundance of his funky, inspirational music included in the film becomes numbing -- an unfortunate result for such a complicated, passionate pop figure. – Kyle Anderson, Entertainment Weekly, Aug 4, 2014

Fresh: Once it gets going, it's fine, a somewhat scattered precis of the life and accomplishment of one of the 20th century's towering musicians, activists, and curiosities. – Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice, Jul 29, 2014

Fresh: The early songs are a celebration; the later music is a weapon. It would be nice to get more of both, but for that there are the reissued CDs, not to mention this film's soundtrack, a decent sampler. – Ty Burr, Boston Globe, Aug 14, 2014
