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.

It's dreadfully boring.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 14, 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

Smacks of self-indulgence and misplaced ideals.

| Original Score: D | Apr 8, 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

A uniquely and even inspirationally personal work -- particularly if you're down with the movie's message that personal expression is mass culture's Public Enemy No. 1.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 26, 2004

Beware of stoner rock stars talking politics.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 26, 2004

Unlike anything you've ever seen (or maybe even wanted to), Young's movie is furious, fascinating and utterly fresh.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 25, 2004

It's grungy, honest, disarming and unapologetically original.

Full Review | Mar 19, 2004

What is intended as a multileveled evocation of Young's values approaches parody, a Christopher Guest-like goof on flower children who stayed too long at the fair.

This is a patience-testing curiosity strictly for the veteran rocker's hard-core fans.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 19, 2004

There's no denying the poignancy and power of Young's commitment to old-fashioned -- and, he seems keenly aware, out of fashion -- political activism.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 19, 2004

Neil Young's film, less a conventional movie than an album-length music video, is full of ornery wisdom and idiosyncratic sublimity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 18, 2004

Has a purposely amateurish feel that doesn't obscure the careful editing.

Full Review | Mar 18, 2004

If this didn't have Young's name attached, it would likely have sunk without a trace.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 16, 2004

A triumph of three-chord energy.

Full Review | Mar 16, 2004

Sitting through Greendale in a Dolby-equipped theater, at high volume with bone-penetrating bass, is an ideal way for Young fans to experience the rustic grandeur of the master's latest album.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 12, 2004

83 minutes of dark, grainy images grew irritating quickly.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 12, 2004

It's both too obscure and too obvious to be a very good film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 11, 2004
