I found this film really, really striking... I was glad that this wasn't just a hagiography.

Throughout, Crosby is true to himself, even if that means coming to terms with being insufferable. Remember My Name is a portrait of an artist in reflection, and it's a hard, sobering look in the mirror.

Rated: B+

Marjorie Baumgarten

Austin Chronicle

A Sixties survivor who by his own account has crossed lines the rest of us have yet to think of, [David] Crosby is indeed a living legend. However, he also remains a legend in his own mind.

Rated: 2.5/5

Richard Crouse

Transcends the usual rock doc career retrospective to create an unflinching portrait of the man one bandmate called "insufferable."

Rated: 4.5/5

The Arts Desk

An unflinching close-up, utterly absorbing and all the more affecting for its searing honesty in showing a man who's gone through the fire and is willing to show the burns.

Rated: 5/5

Crosby isn't shy talking about his wrongs...he reflects on the ways his anger and ego damaged his relationships with former lifelong friends.

Such a story of innocence, beauty and reality - all within a dream. The ending is profound ♥️

David

Poignantly presented and an amazingly candid portrait of a gifted artist coming to terms with his own mortality and taking stock of his failures as well as success. His music is timeless and I saw him in concert the night before the movie. See it even if you are too young to know the music. He has lessons to teach, cautions to heed.

This movie basically was a condensed version of his book, which I am glad did not get into the debauched life he really led. One feels sorry for him, yet if you read the book you would understand more about why his friends won't talk to David, as he did really bas things. It came down to the quote in the movie" Are you a good guy or an asshole?" Now David is sorry after decades he wasted up his veins.

It was a beautiful insight into the life of David Crosby, narrated by him, and so very honest and real.

Really enjoyed understanding the life of David Crosby from his perspective. He was very honest about his stupidity with drugs and wasting so much of his life. I understand now why Crosby stills Nash is not together.
