Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The film says frustratingly little about how everything is managed financially, but the perseverance by all concerned is beautiful to see.
Fresh: Music-centric doc offers an undepressing look at Lou Gehrig's disease.
Fresh: Jesse Vile's expertly measured, emotional look at the life of a guitar prodigy cut down by ALS ...
Rotten: The story that remains is intriguing without being transporting - the facts are all there but the emotion is largely lost in translation.
