An unusually compelling keepsake from what might well be the last time many of these '60s rockers perform together. Go to Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times 11/14/2013
Adam Sandler's uproarious off-color parody of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" injects the film with an inspired note of raucous comedy that undercuts any pretensions to solemnity. Go to Full Review John Anderson Newsday 11/14/2013

05/04/2014 I thought this was great. It was inspirational and the energy in all the performers was amazing. It is one of the best documentaries I've seen and the best concert film I've seen. See more 11/16/2013 Executive produced by Paul McCartney, the documentary follows the behind-the-scenes decisionmarking, preparation and execution of the 12-12-12 Concert at Madison Square Garden. Each of the musical artists are shown performing at least one song and there is quite a bit of footage of the backstage area. A must-see for fans of the 12-12-12 concert and its artists.
