Jack Seale Guardian Disciple, meandering and exhausting -- but with more entertaining moments than dull ones -- is an appropriate tribute. Rated: 4/5 Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Comprehensive, entertaining and star-studded. Rated: 3/4 Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Verne Gay Newsday A generously chronicled — in parts bloated — portrait of a rock and roll great. Rated: 3/4 Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) Van Zandt’s life is such an inspirational story of the importance of trusting your instincts and playing the hand that life dealt you. It’s impossible not to love him. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk To borrow from the Grateful Dead, what a long strange trip it’s been. If Stevie Van Zandt hadn’t existed, it wouldn’t have been possible for anyone to invent him. Rated: 4/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Ricardo De Querol El Pais (Spain) Everything is perfect in this documentary. Nobody speaks badly... The question remains whether Van Zandt is hiding something dark from us, or if it is true that everything could turn out well for a good guy from New Jersey.

Steven t Excellent bio flick. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review David R Great watch, was a very insightful view into his life. One critique..could have been edited to 2 hours or maybe less. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Brian W Does the 3rd best guitarist from the E Street Band deserve this long of documentary? When that guitarist played a not-insignificant role in helping to get Nelson Mandela released, among many other accomplishments, then yes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Bibi B It’s unusual for a 2.5+ documentary about a single person to leave you wanting more but his is such a remarkable life that some big moments still seemed to be raced over. But the great rare footage and stunning array of interviews make it a must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Eric D Great documentary.
