Donald Clarke Irish Times There is ... some desperately bland film-making on display here Rated: 2/5 Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard A celebration of the folk-rock-pop explosion in the West Coast in the mid-Sixties, this documentary-cum-concert movie is tailor-made for music geeks. Rated: 4/5 Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) The movie is a glorious tribute. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2020 Full Review Ethan Gordon InSession Film Aside from Jakob hogging the spotlight, it’s absurd how little insight Echo in the Canyon has. Rated: C+ Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Ultimately this isn't a history of a generation but an enjoyable look at a brief period that still echoes in the imaginations and ears of many fans. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A laid back and breezy re-capturing of a key period in music. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
