    I really like Crosby's honesty and resilience and I like that he acknowledges that he hurt many people. Some of his lifestyle choices are scary & even appalling, but his stories make the documentary so engrossing. The music is great.

    There are some things I wish I could unwatch & this is one of them. I was always a fan of CSN&Y's music. Revealing their their personal lives is such a disappointment. So many successful artists are simply jerks. Such a lack of character & integrity. I don't think I could ever listen to their music ever again without feeling miserable. I'll do my best to forget David Crosby.

    I very much enjoyed this. Here's a great documentary that tells the story of another life super well lived. I get the sense from the life that David Crosby has lived that I am not living my own life even half to its fullest. I'm enchanted with the era that he lived through, including where he was when he was surrounded by all the fun going on around him in his younger life. It makes me wonder why my life seems so boring in comparison. The music made by CSN and CSNY was so amazing. The magic and heart and soul is so discernible in the sound of it all. I would certainly watch this again some day. That Crosby still lives after all he's been through means that he is a biological miracle.

    This film was a powerful, spiritual and life reckoning journey for a man who help set the tone for a generation. I strongly encourage my peers to see this movie.

    One of the more honest and genuine autobiographical documentaries of recent memory, 'David Crosby, Remember My Name', is a worthwhile venture for fans of the musician. Not without flaws from a first-time filmmaker, the best thing is that Crosby just talks. Contrite on certain issues, defiant on others, but brutally honest Crosby is polarizing and his spirit is infectious. There's a lot missing, perhaps due to the drugs Crosby has done over the years, but the truths and the introspection is reason enough to watch. It's not easy, but it goes to show ya if you just stay out of the way as a writer and producer of a doc you can make a good film. One major problem is the lazy way the film is made by having Crosby voiceover (clearly reading) certain aspects of his life. It's especially distracting when the voiceover occurs directly after Crosby is being interviewed. I hope there's more than this 90 minutes on Crosby. He's fascinating and his wisdom and ideas should be out there. Final Score: 7.2/10

    This biopic changed my mind about David Crosby....I now see him less as the pontific narcissist he comes off being in his autobiographies, and more as an eccentric visionary whose gift was to bring the right people into a room and make magic. The story about the making of the song, Ohio, is illuminating. It digs down to reveal the role an artist can play that is driven by genius, madness, and yes, narcissism. But to discover a man in the dark winter of life expressing such contrition....it really throws the ball back into SNY's court. There is no time! Crosby knows there is a vacuum in our music world, and like Carl Bernstein, he wants back in. He wants to take CSNY back out for one last sweet spin. We need a new "Ohio." Otherwise.....Well laid out documentary by master film maker, Cameron Crowe, you are in for a treat with a journey through the Laurel Canyon past. It's a hell of a ride!

    This documentary not only captures a time, place, and era - but Crosby himself warts and all. A captivating, frank discussion with a music legend who is owning his behavior and rightly proud of his art. Totally engaging, interesting, heartfelt, and informative. A wonderful snapshot of not only the sex, drugs and rock and roll - but a tutorial road tour by one of rocks greatest artists. Crosby reflects and pulls the curtain back on himself and the group dynamics of the music industry and his peers. They in turn, weigh in too. It ain't pretty - but it's pretty fascinating. Crosby is terrifically glib, reflective, intelligent and engaging. He's still on the road. Still writing & performing wonderful music - and this is must see for all music fans of that era.

    Such a story of innocence, beauty and reality - all within a dream. The ending is profound ♥️

    Poignantly presented and an amazingly candid portrait of a gifted artist coming to terms with his own mortality and taking stock of his failures as well as success. His music is timeless and I saw him in concert the night before the movie. See it even if you are too young to know the music. He has lessons to teach, cautions to heed.
