Ronnie Scheib Variety 04/25/2011
The film, like the album, winds up far more Sir Elton's project, conceived as a musical tribute to John's idol and mentor Russell -- an acknowledgment of a worthy musician only recently rediscovered, in large part thanks to John. Go to Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 04/25/2011

See more 12/13/2012 If you like Rock-U-Mentories check this one out. It apparently just finished its run on HBO .. But it's worth watching when you can find it. It's by Cameron Crowe and it document's Elton John's labor of love & Tribute to his great influence as a recording artist. Leon Russel. Check it out... See more 02/09/2012 I was shocked to learn the number of albums that featured Leon Russell as the pianist. It was no Martin Scorcese music documentary, but I still recommend this to music fans out there. It also got me even more excited to see Elton in a couple weeks! See more Read all reviews
