• Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

  While 65 Revisited, which runs a little more than an hour, essentially feels like the DVD extra it was designed to be, it nonetheless well deserves its exposure on the big screen.

• Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

  Originally made to supplement a new DVD release, this is one extra worth watching on the big screen, thanks to additional, and extraordinary, concert footage that never made it into the original film.

• Manohla Dargis, New York Times

  The great relief of D. A. Pennebaker's 65 Revisited is that this time you can hear Bob Dylan's songs in their entirety.

• Camille Dodero, Village Voice

  Not fake: Dylan's staggering talent as a solo performer, which 65 Revisited showcases far better than its A-side antecedent.

• Eric Monder, Film Journal International

  For Dylan fans, 65 Revisited will be a treat; for others, it gives a positive glimpse into the world of the folksinging wunderkind.

• Ken Fox, TV Guide's Movie Guide

  While not as revealing as the original film, there's some great stuff here!

• Bill Weber, Slant Magazine

  Where the original was defiantly not a concert film, but a chronicle of the astonished hubbub surrounding the first hipster folksinger, the follow-up's treasure lies with seven intact live performances.
