Critic Reviews

Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
The documentary film covers familiar ground, but it is a story most people never get tired of hearing
Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
It'll make you miss him all over again.
David Bezanson, Filmcritic.com
doesn't fail to honor Lennon's memory (which would be unforgivable) but its emphasis is misplaced
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Interesting documentary about an interesting man.
