20 Feet from Stardom

New York Daily News
06/14/13 Excellent "...the singers behind the stars seldom get the credit they deserve. That's something the comprehensive and stirring documentary aims to correct."
2. 04/19/13 Excellent "For all his vocal struggles, Helm taps a well of emotion in the firmer performances here. He may have had an unsatisfying end, but this fine film fashions one for him."
3.

Greetings from Tim Buckley

New York Daily News
04/29/13 Poor "...slipshod.... For all the star's efforts, the movie itself ends up little more than an exploitation item, a sad place-holder until the real thing comes along."
4.

Marley

New York Daily News
04/20/12 Excellent "Macdonald tracked down two of the star's white half-siblings, whose interviews reveal fascinating aspects of race and power on their native Jamaica."
5.

Neil Young Journeys

New York Daily News
06/29/12 Excellent "...raw and mangy... Thanks to the theater's acoustics, the sound shoots right through you. It's an audio marvel -- a good thing since the visuals can be downright weird."
6. 10/27/10 Excellent "...observant... enjoyable... contains a wealth of live performances and rehearsals, highlighting Merritt's mix of murderous humor and merry tunes."
