Reviews for Neil Young - Greendale
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.

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

Top Critic 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.

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

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.
06/18/04
Little more than a video vanity project, as fuzzy as Young's guitar chords but not nearly as moving.

Top Critic 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.
05/01/04
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.

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

Top Critic An egomaniacal misfire...a foolproof defense against both CD and VHS/DVD piracy.
04/13/04
An 83-minute rock block of interconnected music videos... it feels like a giant marketing ploy to sell more albums.
04/09/04
Top Critic So terrible, you can't believe Young isn't simply having a big goof on all of us.
04/02/04
An avant home movie posing as an anthem by an artist whose message gets grainier the closer you look.
03/31/04
Top Critic 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.
