A documentary that in its spirit and feel catches some of the vulnerability and naive optimism of its subject, Van Zandt. February 3, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Rather than connecting all the chronological dots, Brown has fashioned Van Zandt's balm-to-the- brokenhearted legacy into potent cinematic poetry. December 24, 2005

An unnarrated collection of gently told reminiscences that rove impressionistically, the film touches on various points in a career that remained a well-kept secret from the start, when Van Zandt began performing in the late 1960s. December 10, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The film feels most authentic when it talks about the exhilaration and the freedom Van Zandt and other musicians feel when they cut off ties to family and home to make a songwriter's life on the road. January 29, 2020 | Full Review…

A textured, elegiac, and deeply plangent music documentary. Brown's film, never exposing Van Zandt to too much harsh light, preserves this enigma just enough that it makes you want to go back to the music after you've caught these glimpses of the man. May 25, 2015 | Full Review…
