    Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile Macdonald and his editor have built a collage that really communicates in vibrant, cinematic language. Of course, it is about a musician, so rightly, it is wall to wall music Full review External link

  5. Positive review
    Scott Bowles, USA Today Sprinkled with riffs, concert footage and home videos, the family-authorized documentary does what the artist usually did: When in doubt, return to the beat. Full review External link
