Critic Reviews

  • Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

    It's not easy being Meat Loaf.

  • Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times

    In Search of Paradise portrays Meat Loaf as an obsessive, self-punishing performer, striving in vain to put on a live show that matches the visions in his head.

  • Eddie Cockrell, Variety

    At once hagiographic and revealing, backstage docu Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise follows the never-a-dull-moment rocker during Los Angeles rehearsals and an early 2007 Canadian tour.

  • Frank Lovece, Film Journal International

    You can't help but love the Loaf, and that spills over into most anything he does.

  • Jennifer Merin, About.com

    At age 59, Meat Loaf launches a worldwide tour for his album, Bat Out Of Hell III, with new stagings of some of his iconic songs. This fabulous rock doc is a first time look at Meat's grueling artistic process. It's amazing.
