Critic Reviews
-
John Anderson, Newsday
Less than satisfying treatment of beloved musician, who never quite lets his guard down.
-
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
It's a sympathetic portrait of an artist whose heart lay more with new work than old glories, right up to the end.
-
A.O. Scott, New York Times
An affectionate tribute and a gift for fans who grew fond of his company on records or at concerts and who would like a little bit more.
-
Jim Farber, New York Daily News
Director Jacob Hatley clearly earned the complete trust of Helm's inner circle, enough to capture the icon's crusty humor, singular talent and significant bravery in the face of his fate.
-
Keith Phipps, NPR
Despite his flashes of bitterness, the Helm captured here seems like a man at peace with where he ended up - however taxing the road that brought him, however many friends lost or discarded along the way.
