January 29, 2010A very good documentary about the electric guitar, and three legends and their musical journey. It has it's pacing issues, but the real blow against the film is the way in which it eliminates Jack White from a lot of the discussion and really rushed through his story. He was the ...( read more)

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
No self-respecting Led Zeppelin fan could hate a movie that contains extended interviews with Jimmy Page. But that can't change the fact that It Might Get Loud is an empty exercise. full review
