      Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Jarmusch gets nothing out of his interview except the band members and manager repeatedly telling us how long and how well the group works together. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 3/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews If you don't like the music, forget it. But, if you're like me, a Neil Young fan, this is great inside stuff. Rated: A- Jun 29, 2010 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com I'll never understand how Neil Young won the heart of Jim Jarmusch.

      Audience Member Unless you're a Neil Young die-hard, you're likely to find Year of the Horse unbearable.  What's especially shocking is that it comes from a talented director like Jarmusch, who is known for intelligent, thought-provoking pictures. Evidently, his feature film making ability doesn't translate into the documentary realm. Year of the Horse is one of 1997's ugliest dogs.  It's supposed to be a high- energy concert film that captures the intensity and camaraderie of the band members on and off- stage. What it turns out to be, however, is an overlong home movie with bad video and barely- adequate sound. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Very much for fans only. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Crazy Director, Crazy Music, Crazy Movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Best part: Poncho calling Jim Jarmusch "some artsy fartsy director from New York". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Neil, Jim and the Horse get lost in a lo-fi adventure and poor editing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Jim Jarmusch + Neil Young, mÃ¥ jo bli bra Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
