You'd think a place renowned for its avant-gardism and its radical chic would receive a less by-the-numbers treatment.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Times

Some revealing historical facts are scattered through Karen Kramer's documentary about Greenwich Village. Most of the film, however, is devoted to sound bites from celebrities who used to live or hang out there.

Rated: 2/5
