The legendary rocker embarks on an ambitious world tour.

Boxoffice Magazine

The flick's signature shots are doors closing on Klein's camera. Meat Loaf is busy, he's sick, he's tired, he's in a confidential discussion. The excuses flow forth.

In Search of Paradise portrays Meat Loaf as an obsessive, self-punishing performer, striving in vain to put on a live show that matches the visions in his head.

You can't help but love the Loaf, and that spills over into most anything he does.

At age 59, Meat Loaf launches a worldwide tour for his album, Bat Out Of Hell III, with new stagings of some of his iconic songs. This fabulous rock doc is a first time look at Meat's grueling artistic process. It's amazing.

Rated: 4.5/5

For all the opening piano moments, I thought this was going to delve a bit more into the person of meat loaf, instead I felt like they really wanted to focus on this tour, that no one really cares about... A bit of a disappointment.

Excelente documental que te deja con un poco de ganas de saber mas sobre la vida de Meat Loaf, pero que te demuestra la entraga que tiene y el sacrificio para dar un show.

A little more depth would have been nice but Meat Loaf didn't really seem like he wanted the documentary crew around at all since he kept waving them away.
