Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (2012) 92% “Drew DeNicola and Olivia Mori's finely detailed documentary...” – Billboard Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Broadway Idiot (2013) 62% “Hamilton smartly integrates some superb concert footage of the band on its American Idiot tour — a great reminder of how powerful that record is and how well it connected with fans. It provides a sharp contrast to how different the Broadway experience is.” – Billboard Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Carrie (2002) 20% “Too much of "Carrie" feels padded, that we're watching an extra 45 seconds or a minute in certain scenes just to get them to fill out the time until the commercial break or allow in more f/x.” – Variety Jan 16, 2020 Full Review The Quiet One (2019) 64% “Murray's job was to curate the extensive Wyman collection and turn it into a story, and he does so without ever digging too deep into Wyman's psyche.” – Variety May 3, 2019 Full Review 9/11 (2002) “The quality of the filmmaking and the power of the images... leveled the political playing field immediately.” – Variety Mar 4, 2019 Full Review A Season on the Brink (2002) “Hoosier coach Knight's media profile has been so high for so long, his portrait is complete; Season on the Brink fails to build on that media-created persona.” – Variety Mar 3, 2019 Full Review Shackleton (2002) 100% “Shackleton is all Branagh, a pure delight to watch as he maintains his humanity in the face of terror and becomes the brave face of his 50-plus men.” – Variety Mar 3, 2019 Full Review James Dean (2001) 93% “It's a hushed project that finds its grandeur in the cinematic approach from director of photography Robbie Greenberg, who gives pic the look of a bigscreen rather than a television project.” – Variety Mar 3, 2019 Full Review Monday Night Mayhem (2002) 67% “Monday Night Mayhem [is] a reasonably strong telling of Cosell's rise as an American icon and "MNF" as an entertainment paragon.” – Variety Nov 7, 2018 Full Review Sam Cooke: Legend (2003) “This Legends episode, once you get past Jeffrey Wright's dry narration, is a start-to-finish winner.” – Variety Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Being Mick (2001) “If ever there was a rock star's crib that deserved its own documentary, [Jagger's] is the one.” – Variety Oct 24, 2018 Full Review Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows (2001) “Seldom in a biographical television made-for does a star so expertly inhabit another's skin as Judy Davis does here with Judy Garland.” – Variety Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Rebel Music: The Bob Marley Story (2000) “Jeremy Marre has done a remarkable job detailing Marley's art and life with enthusiasm and care, making this documentary a centerpiece for PBS' American Masters series during sweeps.” – Variety Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Inside the Osmonds (2001) “It doesn't deliver much in the drama department, which may mean a dwindling audience over the course of two hours until only the puppy lovers of yore are tuned in.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days (2001) “It's hard to tell if [Monroe] was loved or tolerated, and theories concerning her ways with powerful men exposes her mental and emotional constitution in a way that hasn't been discussed that much before.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Boss of Bosses (2001) “Bosses...answers no questions about Castellano and his motivations or even explains his intense dislike of rising mobster John Gotti or why he saw a life for himself in the arms of his Colombian housekeeper, Gloria.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review America: A Tribute to Heroes (2001) “For once, star power ran on low wattage just fine.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Boycott (2001) “As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jeffrey Wright is completely in step with their particular bent, playing the civil rights leader with hushed zeal and an inner flame that grows into a fuel burn by telepic's end.” – Variety Jul 6, 2010 Full Review 61* (2001) 86% “While the script has its fair share of treacly moments intended to manipulate viewers into caring deeply for this duo, Billy Crystal's dream project about his beloved Yankees and one of their great chapters gets a heroic treatment in 61*.” – Variety Jul 6, 2010 Full Review The Rat Pack (1998) 57% “Director Rob Cohen attempts to bring extra layers to each scene but he winds up handcuffed by the script, particularly in the Sinatra scenes.” – Variety Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Space Is the Place (1974) 71% “It's standard blaxploitation settings and elements -- crime fighters and criminals, pimps and hookers, a pool hall and a brothel -- but the presence of the Outer Space Employment Agency makes it extraordinary.” – Variety Apr 8, 2008 Full Review My Name Is Albert Ayler (2005) 94% “Brings a sense of logic and humanity to a man whose music was as unsettling as it was untethered to the tenets of jazz.” – Variety Mar 5, 2008 Full Review What We Do Is Secret (2007) 45% “A highly personal take on the ins and outs of creating and maintaining a band.” – Variety Sep 22, 2007 Full Review Shut Up and Sing (2006) 89% “It's the rare thorough documentary on a musical act whose dilemmas are faced in the here and now, one that should win over fans of the Chicks on the fence and of music docus and perhaps create a little cultural stir as well.” – Variety Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film (2006) 100% “Blessed with all the trademarks of a Burns brothers documentary, Ric Burns' look at the life of Andy Warhol is well researched, packed with rarely seen footage and loaded with eloquent observations.” – Variety Aug 31, 2006 Full Review
