Irish Times

Featuring effective, swampy music and an often-exasperated voice-over by the director, this rough-hewn picture appears beamed in from an era when rock stars were still allowed to be reprobates.

Rated: 4/5

David Gritten

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Can such a lost soul ever be redeemed? Duane skilfully leaves it to the end to suggest an answer. This is eerily watchable ...

Rated: 4/5

John Beifuss

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

This harrowing documentary might be described as 'Grey Gardens' on the highway to hell -- it's a portrait of an ornery rockabilly old-timer-on-the-edge that is as funny as it is frightening and as compassionate as it is shocking.

Rated: 3.5/4

Tragic yet hilarious, it's like watching Hunter S. Thompson's bucket list.

Rated: 4/5

As a legendary Memphis musician, ex-con, addict, and live wire faces cancer, it's no certainty even the director will get out alive.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
