Critics Consensus

The Boss and his crew were born to run, and the joyous Road Diary does a superb job of keeping up with them.

Bruce Springsteen’s director of choice, Thom Zimny, does a capable job on this tour documentary, which charts rock & roll’s abiding spirit returning to stadiums with his backing band after a six-year absence.

Maybe Road Diary feels less up close and personal than the title would imply, or than some ravenous fans might hope. But in its joyous celebration of the band’s spirit, it nevertheless captures something of what makes them them.

4/5

Documentaries about performing artists are only as interesting as the artists being documented. In the case of “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,” one needn’t fret. The Boss is entirely captivating.

Road Diary plays like a hyper-extended live music video and a more polished behind the scenes Blu-Ray extra than an actual film.

Springsteen fans will love the mix of old and new in this intimate, honest documentary about musicians who, despite the years, still “have it.”

4/5

Besides singing his greatest hits, Bruce Springsteen also does a lot of talking in this high-power account of his ongoing concert tour...Occasionally he goes off script — or seems to — and that’s when we really get to learn a thing or two about The Boss.

Subjectively I don’t like him politically or socially. Nor do I particularly like his commentary on other artists like Elvis or others. Nebraska was his only masterpiece. Objectively, this piece was sort of a drag. I agree with some of the other none pro reviews up to this point.

This movie was a complete bore. If you want a depressing movie about an interesting character, this is for you. Very little insight into the musician. Very hard to sit through.

This film to me just misses the heart & soul that that Springsteen brings to the table. His music at the time was the sound of blue collar America, the film to me does not give that amazing feeling, it skins over it all with no feeling or depth, shame as it therefore becomes another too long rock biopic without much pace.
