David Crosby: Remember My Name Reviews

Transcends the usual rock doc career retrospective to create an unflinching portrait of the man one bandmate called "insufferable."

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 31, 2021

An unflinching close-up, utterly absorbing and all the more affecting for its searing honesty in showing a man who's gone through the fire and is willing to show the burns.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 16, 2020

Crosby isn't shy talking about his wrongs...he reflects on the ways his anger and ego damaged his relationships with former lifelong friends.

| Jan 21, 2020

It's about the rhythm, and like the successive knots of Crosby's music, it works best when everything on its mind invades the peripheries.

| Jan 17, 2020

If you're a fan of Crosby, or just the music of the period, this film is a must see!

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 5, 2019

I found this film really, really striking... I was glad that this wasn't just a hagiography.

What David Crosby: Remember My Name feels like is an elegy. Crosby understands the end is near and that he is bound to leave behind unrepaired relationships and financial messiness. He's trying to fix it, but there's just not enough time.

| Original Score: 88/100 | Sep 13, 2019

There's some kind of lesson there: Be full enough of spit and vinegar, and you might just survive your biggest mistakes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 6, 2019

This come-clean doc has Crosby telling a lot of solid rock tales all in the name of truth. Whether you believe him or not, though, the man really does make good music, even now at 78.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 6, 2019

The film has a solid first hour, then loses focus and sort of drifts off in its final 30 minutes. Still, there is much to admire here, for this is no warm dip into fuzzy nostalgia.

David Crosby: Remember My Name records a life as rich as the music Crosby recorded. It's well worth remembering.

| Sep 5, 2019

Strangely, while you may not regard Crosby as a decent person, you respect his candor and are touched by his vulnerability as he opens up to filmmaker Cameron Crowe, who produced the movie.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 4, 2019

Crosby is making amends the only way he knows how, really... To his credit, that wonderful voice has remained pure and strong, and he's using it to get out all he has to say, as quickly as he can.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 3, 2019

The secret sauce here is Crosby himself, who is at turns cantankerous and charismatic, surly and sentimental -- but always willing to answer even the most personal questions.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 3, 2019

After all this time and all of his proclivities he is alive and kicking. That alone makes this film worth watching.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 30, 2019

Even without this film, Crosby's the kind of figure who would have always been remembered, but director Eaton has delivered a fascinating document worthy of such a remarkable life.

| Aug 30, 2019

Here is a musician that shows no signs of slowing down, remaining as fascinating as he has ever been. "Remember My Name" serves as the perfect showcase for that talent.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 30, 2019

Throughout, Crosby is true to himself, even if that means coming to terms with being insufferable. Remember My Name is a portrait of an artist in reflection, and it's a hard, sobering look in the mirror.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 28, 2019

As a portrait of a flawed and regretful human being, even one who has seen great successes along the way, [A.J.] Eaton's film does have a valuable sobering quality that feels more universal.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 27, 2019

Most importantly, the film is not an exercise in hero worshiping. Crosby's warts are visible for all to see.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2019
