1. 05/11/12 Moderate "...plays like an episode of 'Behind the Music' masquerading as a feature-length rock doc.... 'Hit So Hard' often finds Patty Schemel as an extra in her own film."
2.
Marley
Washington Post
04/20/12 Outstanding "...an eye-opening and all-encompassing portrait that should go a long way to rescuing him from being a marijuana mascot.... connects the man and his music while adding depth and context."
3.
Beats, Rhymes and Life
Washington Post
07/15/11 Very Good "First-time filmmaker Rapaport shows admirable restraint in going overboard with praise. He lets a stream of A-list stars do the fawning, every word of which is deserved."
4.
Rejoice & Shout
Washington Post
06/17/11 Moderate "...far from authoritative and misses some key opportunities to dig deep into intriguing characters and issues. The documentary plays out as little more than a Wikipedia page with musical accompaniment. But, oh, that musical accompaniment..."
5. 02/11/11 Good (Not Great) "...a fluffy, mildly inspiring, celebration of the hero leading up to his big moment."
6.
Troubadours (2011)
Washington Post
02/04/11 Good (Not Great) "...a casual love letter to L.A.'s thriving singer-songwriter scene of the late '60s and early '70s, with old friends Carole King, James Taylor and the iconic Troubadour venue... Basically, it's the boomer experience condensed to 90 minutes."
