Pleasant, but hardly pulse-quickening stuff.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2006

Shows the famed songwriter's performance and work off with reverance, and a faithfullness to the live experience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 6, 2006

...Even those who haven't followed Young's every recent move could well find his performance here surprisingly captivating.

| Oct 5, 2006

...Neil Young has experimented with film many times, but this is by far the most accessible cinematic treatment of his music; a troubadour at the top of his game.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 3, 2006

The best moments in the film are when Ellen Kuras's camera just sits there taking in the whole stage, the whole gorgeous ecosystem.

Full Review | May 12, 2006

Vividly captures Young's greatness by simply letting him do his thing.

| Original Score: A | Apr 6, 2006

This chronicle of the human condition set to music will only rise in value and statue over time.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 25, 2006

When it comes to pop-music icons, Neil Young is the full package.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 10, 2006

Some defiant rockers are forever young. This one is in name only.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 24, 2006

Neil Young: Heart of Gold is one of the best live concert films ever made. If you like Neil Young, that is.

| Original Score: A | Feb 24, 2006

It does what the best movies of any genre do: turn the produced and scripted into something sincere and honest.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 24, 2006

Like its troubadour, Heart of Gold is smart and generous with its seeming simplicity.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 24, 2006

Few artists are so adept at addressing the past and embracing the future all at once. And few recent films have so gracefully captured a musician at a specific point in his time.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 24, 2006

Neil Young: Heart of Gold, director Jonathan Demme's lovingly shot document of Young's August 2005 performances at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, has to rank among the most heartfelt concert films ever made.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 23, 2006

I couldn't help but wish that as long as Young was making a new film with a top-tier director at the helm, he would have provided more insight into his life, as Martin Scorsese's recent 온라인카지노추천 documentary did for Bob Dylan.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 18, 2006

Heart of Gold is the work of an egalitarian lover of music. Demme uses the camera as a divining rod, pointing at the man with the guitar.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 17, 2006

If you're looking for a piece of entertainment that's a superlative showcase by and for one of popular music's most iconic figures, search no further than Neil Young: Heart of Gold.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 17, 2006

It's movie and music bliss.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 17, 2006

Heart of Gold -- filmed in much the same manner [as Stop Making Sense], with pristine sound and a notable lack of audience shots -- is a deeper and infinitely more touching piece of work.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 17, 2006

It's hard to film icons like Young as anything but icons, but Demme's film gets past the legend, zooming in on Young's aged, heroic face and finding an artist as human as the rest of us.
