Critics Consensus

Attenzione! The man who came out of post-war Italy to revolutionize the Western, Maestro Ennio Morricone, is masterfully captured in a documentary befitting his genius.

TERRIFIC DOC ! fascinating long career of important composer. It was a bit long, but I loved the intimate style, learning about the intensity of collaborations, and hearing so much Italian !

Loved it! Made me want to go right home and watch "The Legend of 1900" and "The Mission" again. My husband's first choice would be "Cinema Paradiso". And I loved "The Untouchables". What a giant he was!

If you couldn't get enough of the beauty of Leone's Westerns growing up, you will watch the movie irrespective of what I say. Watching him running through and describing each build-up to his major works is something that must be considered unique. Rare. The movie makes one understand and - most of all - aware of how significantly Morricone's music has impacted modern artists.

What’s most impactful about “Ennio” is the opportunity to see Morricone as a man and a music lover.

Diving into the history of these scores touches the heart of anyone who has been moved by his songs. In the end, it’s reassuring to learn how much heart emanated from the composer.

Chicago Tribune

It’s not a short film, at roughly two and a half hours. It’s also so rich in its detail, and sheer musical variety, you’re grateful for the excess.

Rated: 3.5/4

One can just close their eyes and get engulfed in the music of an evolutionary composer but hopefully it will open one’s as well to the art of film composition.

This is one of the great documentaries about movies, about music and about artistic creation in general, a loving tribute to an innate musical genius who composed over 500 movie scores.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

As a film, it felt more like a "masterclass" than a documentary... I don't know that someone who doesn't know Morricone would find [this] interesting.
