The definitive documentary on legendary metal icon Ronnie James Dio comes to movie theatres around the world for a two-day-only film event. Ronnie James Dio's story transcends the standard rock documentary. Beautifully highlighting both his powerful voice and his gentle heart, "DIO: Dreamers Never Die" delves deep into the singer's incredible rise from '50s doo-wop crooner to his early rock days in Elf and Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, to replacing Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, and finally cementing his rockstar status with his own band, DIO. The first documentary to be authorized by the artist's estate, the film incorporates never-before-seen footage and personal photos from Dio's archives as well as offering intimate scenes with his closest peers, family, and friends, among them Wendy Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Glenn Hughes, Vinny Appice, Lita Ford, Rob Halford, Sebastian Bach, Eddie Trunk and Jack Black, as they bring viewers inside the life of one of the most beloved figures in rock.

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times An honest, evocative and at times viscerally exciting look back at one of heavy metal’s headiest and most creative eras. Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Chris Willman Variety Dio had just enough curious career turns to justify the length of the movie that’s been made about him. Mar 24, 2022 Full Review Robert Penson Austin Chronicle While up close and personal, the story of the Man on the Silver Mountain is as epic as his music. Mar 20, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider The gem moments here are worth the price of admission. But beyond that, Dreamers Never Die is a warm, glossy endeavor that ultimately feels like a bunch of metalheads... cracking a few beers as they gush about their all-time favorite singer. Dec 6, 2022 Full Review Stephen Silver Living Life Fearless A watchable exploration of the prolific frontman's life and career. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Lorry Kikta Film Threat The documentary is made for big Dio fans and burgeoning metalheads. They’ll love it and maybe you will too.
