It is an often overlooked gem of a movie, chronicling the creative process of making a personal record in more detail than has even been seen. Also, the film is helped tremendously by some great music from Wilco, and a ironic, triumphant twist of real-lif

Fortunately for Wilco, who have a passion for excellence, creative freedom, and innovation, Jones's camera recorded footage at the scene of a crime against art.

Even if you have never heard a Wilco album, the film is a great introduction to the band's music and the pain that goes into making it.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 20, 2003

An interesting look behind the scenes of Chicago-based rock group Wilco...

| Original Score: B | Dec 16, 2002

As a study of how the current corporate idiocy impacts one man's art, it's priceless.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

More about the alchemical nature of movies than the band or their music, the picture is among the very best of the year.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Dec 2, 2002

While I Am Trying to Break Your Heart is full of strong performances, Jones' film is less about the music than it is about the music business.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 19, 2002

Not only does this musical documentary showcase a band that's at the top of its form ... it also serves as indictment of the ridiculously shallow, pre-fab music industry in general.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 8, 2002

Is there enough material to merit a documentary on the making of Wilco's last album?

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 1, 2002

If you aren't already a fan of Wilco, a critical darling led by the talented and wily songwriter Jeff Tweedy, the film does little to enlighten or recruit.

Woven together handsomely, recalling sixties' rockumentary milestones from Lonely Boy to Don't Look Back.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 25, 2002

Jones gives the faithful a surprisingly intimate portrait of the guardedly vulnerable Tweedy, along with a wealth of potent performance footage that captures Wilco in all its battered and unbowed glory.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2002

By candidly detailing the politics involved in the creation of an extraordinary piece of music, [Jones] calls our attention to the inherent conflict between commerce and creativity.
