J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
[A] fascinating documentary.
-
A.O. Scott, New York Times
A remarkably pure and powerful documentary, partly because it's so simple. The sound mix is crisp, the black-and-white photography is lovely, and the songs, above all, can be heard in all their earnest, enigmatic glory.

If you care to see the brash young Dylan as he evolves onstage as an artist and moves on from his early folk success, this is just a great film to see that.

John A. Nesbit, Old School Reviews
a 'must see' for music fans and a necessary addition to the DVD libraries of all Dylan fans

Donald J. Levit, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
'The Other Side of the Mirror' charms from start to finish with the simplicity -- or innocence -- of the Sixties.
