Shot at [Bruce's] barn in New Jersey among friends and family, the setting is so intimate it feels you received your very own invitation. December 12, 2019 | Full Review…

It's the cutaways between songs that stitch it all together with an emotional thread that charts its subject's struggles over the decades. October 29, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Throughout, Springsteen proves prophet and poet, a rhinestone cowboy still barreling down the highway of life. "Western Stars" is yet another exit on his epic journey. October 24, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review…

For Springsteen diehards - I'm raising my hand now - this is not the rich visual expansion of a very good album that its author hoped to make. October 24, 2019 | Full Review…

Now he's taken the reins as a movie director for a visual companion to his recently released, same-named album... that in its intimacy and honesty plays as if this is the way these songs were always meant to be enjoyed. October 24, 2019 | Full Review…

Western Stars isn't going to break the music documentary mold, and there are some interstitial segments that are honestly downright cheesy, but if you're a Springsteen fan, you should find plenty to love about it. November 13, 2019 | Full Review…

The performance footage is mesmerising, as Springsteen articulates the intimacy of lyrics imbued with themes of a mythic West, despite sharing the stage with a full electric band and a 30-piece orchestra. November 11, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

We can stare at his iconic Boss pose - sturdy, bent-kneed, poised like a hood ornament into the wind... but like the music itself, it feels a little too smooth, a little too contrived and just a teensy bit cheesy to embrace on a deeply personal level. November 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Each song is performed live in the film, and each song is set up with a short video narrated by Springsteen explaining the inspiration for each song. This movie is as much about Springsteen the man, as it is about Springsteen, the performer. November 8, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…
