This archival documentary presents its subject as an enigma and a force of nature, a rock ’n’ roller whose passion and demons fueled his volcanic music.

Peter Howell

Toronto Star

Jerry Lee likes to boast that he’s the real king of rock ’n’ roll, not his late frenemy Elvis Presley. This doc lends credence to that claim.

Rated: 3/4

Time Out

If you’re looking for a more probing look at the man behind the balls of fire, or a pan back to place him in a broader context, Coen’s rockumentary will fall just a little short of satisfying.

Rated: 3/5

Deadline Hollywood Daily

What Trouble In Mind does deceptively well is to remind us that, without these very real torments, these incendiary performances might never have existed.

Vadim Rizov

Filmmaker Magazine

This is as unambitiously amiable a timekiller as you might expect from Live Nation Productions, a logical extension of the Coens' penchant for being deeply invested in popular American music history that otherwise sheds no light on their previous work.

This film does no probing. It just plays out as a goofy fun film.
