The combination of music with the performers' dedication makes this more moving than a concert souvenir, though they are almost upstaged by touching moments with veterans.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 27, 2008

This is not a rock tour film for CSNY fans so much as a rambling, occasionally thought-provoking, sometimes moving enquiry into the question of whether the sixties protest music generation has lost its leverage over hearts and minds.

What saves CSNY/Deja Vu from its self-importance is the surprisingly lively, timely and timeless music.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 12, 2008

It is a good, strong documentary.

Neil Young, though he be the writer of some of the finest, most trenchant, angriest political songs of the last fifty years, has no skill at marshaling arguments in a cinematic context.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 31, 2008

The problem isn't what it's communicating. It's the awkward structure and tendency toward redundancy. The film's a hodgepodge of songs, old footage and stories of the Iraq War that just doesn't come together with any sense of narrative cohesiveness.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 29, 2008

One can't help finding it funny that the most poorly positioned elements in the film are musical ones, yet the uniquely raw and under-produced sound of the band does find itself a comfortable home in this raw and under-produced doc.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2008

Many come to the shows unprepared for the heavy sermonizing. Others call for it. The documentary seems equally divisive.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 25, 2008

Come to think of it, maybe the reason the movie spends so much time patting the band on the back is because it is obvious movie audiences aren't likely to.

CSNY Dj Vu doesn't break any new documentary ground, but it does exactly what it sets out to do: Preserve a live event and make it available to a broader audience.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 25, 2008

CSNY Dj Vu has some delicious moments, but you never quite shake the feeling that it's documenting a tempest in a teapot.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2008

The band's harmonies have crumbled and their new songs sound like paint being chipped off an aluminum shed with a garden rake. Their hits would sound better on the next eight-track you see at a yard sale.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 25, 2008

Young, who directed the movie, compares today's climate with the Vietnam era, and doesn't bother hiding his disappointment in the present.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2008

Recent and archival interview, news, war and music footage, which often juxtapose the Vietnam and Iraq conflicts, round out this unflinching, well-constructed picture.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2008

It will doubtlessly end up preaching to the choir -- Bush backers beware -- but that choir should enjoy it.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 25, 2008

The movie makes you glad that CSNY is still out there rocking in the free world. It makes you doubly glad they're not leading it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 25, 2008

Might have packed a stronger punch with more commitment to both the music and the message.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 25, 2008

The film avoids discussing politics directly, and instead discusses the right to discuss politics.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 25, 2008
