Neil Young's latest album is part diatribe, part folk tale. He grabbed a super-8 camera and shot a bunch of flannel-wearing Youngalikes as they lipsynched to the libretto. It's strangely compelling...

Its strength lies in its rawness, innocence and lack of polish, as it gets the concerned singer's message out loud and clear to those who are believers.

| Original Score: A- | Sep 5, 2005

[Neil Young's] dotardly video companion to his album of the same name.

| Nov 8, 2004

Everyone knows rock stars shouldn't make movies, but that goes double for old, drug-addled ones like Neil Young.

| Original Score: D | Jun 19, 2004

If Young's music or essential intrigue -- at any stage of his rich, 30-plus years of unpredictable expression -- have ever entertained your imagination, Greendale will likely yield a fun field trip into the mystery of his evergreen mind.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 19, 2004

Overall, it's a pretty irritating movie. But as I watched it, almost in spite of myself, I kept getting caught up in Young's music.

Anyone except Young devotees may find this one a yawn-inducing experience.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 18, 2004

Little more than a video vanity project, as fuzzy as Young's guitar chords but not nearly as moving.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 18, 2004

It's dreadfully boring.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 14, 2004

At a time when the visuals in so many movies drown out weak storytelling and flailing dialogue, Neil Young's made an oddity: Greendale is a film better heard than seen.

Full Review | May 1, 2004

Young might have been thinking high-concept, but on the screen, Greendale devolves into overwrought 'save the planet for another day' screeds and Sunday-school homilies.

You're better off listening to the album than watching this almost unwatchable movie.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Apr 16, 2004

An egomaniacal misfire...a foolproof defense against both CD and VHS/DVD piracy.

| Original Score: F | Apr 13, 2004

An 83-minute rock block of interconnected music videos... it feels like a giant marketing ploy to sell more albums.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 9, 2004

Smacks of self-indulgence and misplaced ideals.

| Original Score: D | Apr 8, 2004

So terrible, you can't believe Young isn't simply having a big goof on all of us.

| Apr 2, 2004

An avant home movie posing as an anthem by an artist whose message gets grainier the closer you look.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 31, 2004
