This film is different precisely because Broomfield was a long-time friend of Marianne. His heart is invested, which gives the film a welcome intimacy and warmth. December 12, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Footage of Marianne on her deathbed, listening to a tender message from Cohen, leaves one all of a pleasant ache. The pair were haplessly toxic. Warm and sexy, they were also united by their love of words to the end. July 26, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Broomfield may care about [Marianne Ihlen], but his film just cares about the manic pixie dream girl with flowers in her hair. January 17, 2020 | Full Review…

This subject matter must have hit home hard for the prolific British documentary director Nick Broomfield; he too had a long personal history with Ehlen. Perhaps that's why there's an unusual emotional intensity to the film. January 6, 2020 | Full Review…

Documentary demonstrates that Cohen, like so many male artists ... fit a pattern of an archetypal Jewish men's fantasy fulfillment. His muse was a blonde gentile goddess. September 9, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…
