Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me Movie Review: | |
| Overall, it's still a skillfully rendered narrative that should satisfy fans and pique the interest of the uninitiated. Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times By the end, I was muttering at every critic and musician and record producer, "Guys, tell me something I don't know." Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post The story that writer-director Drew DeNicola and producer-director Olivia Mori reconstruct has the power to move even those who prefer Mozart or Lil Wayne. Mark Jenkins-NPR DiNicola explores the specifics of Big Star's implosion as well as anyone can, considering band breakups are much like shattered love affairs: Who ever really knows what went wrong? Stephanie Zacharek-Village Voice A well-sourced account of a perfect, broken dream, Drew DeNicola and Olivia Mori's slightly shaggy documentary captures what it's like to discover music so good it seems as if it were made just for you. Nicolas Rapold-New York Times Whether this love letter is more preaching to the converted than a corrective is arguable, but if it gets one person to buy #1 Record... David Fear-Time Out New York The band's trajectory will not be unfamiliar to anyone who has read a musician's biography or watched a few episodes of Behind The Music (formation > inspiration > destruction) so the only real variables are in how the story is being told. Cory Everett-The Playlist A rock-doc that mythologizes the tragicomic flame out of power pop's seminal band, and the fan-made afterlife that brought them long-delayed success. Bill Weber-Slant Magazine Considering the star-crossed band it documents, there should be no surprise that "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me" has a melancholy tinge to it. Tim Grierson-Paste Magazine Interesting enough, but you may leave the theater still wondering what all the fuss was about. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service Whether or not you are familiar with the band or their music, this movie will fill you with a rare kind of musical euphoria. You'll love it. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com Should satisfy both long-term acolytes and those newly curious of Big Star's timeless artistry. Chris Buckle-The Skinny A true passion project: A movie that is both a smart, definitive documentary and the ultimate love letter to its subject, the 1970s Memphis power pop band that proved vastly more popular and influential after its dissolution than when it was active. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) | |
