A personal, generous tribute reel designed to keep a musical master's legacy very much alive. Sep 17, 2010 | Rating: 3.5/5

The point of it is not, in the end, to explain him or solve the mystery of his life, but rather to spend time in his company and understand why he is someone to be missed. Sep 10, 2010 | Rating: 3.5/5

There's been so little written about Nilsson or archiving of his work that Who Is Harry Nilsson is a godsend just for bringing together so much rare footage. Sep 9, 2010 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Who Is Harry Nilsson is a worthwhile portrait of a genius who made beautiful music, and a case study for how to tragically, epically self-destruct. Sep 8, 2010 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Sticking closely to the archival footage and talking-heads formula, it's the quality of the former and the sense of personal involvement in the latter that elevates the film above the run-of-the-mill rockumentary. Sep 7, 2010 | Full Review…

It's a shame that, given Nilsson's musical stature, that the film about his life seems less like capturing his spirit than just dully tracing his life. Aug 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

On the one hand, the film is a cautionary too-much-too-soon story that was a cliché even before what Casey Kasem refers to as the Rock Era; on the other hand, it also has enough touching, amusing and/or appalling episodes to make it compulsively watchable Sep 10, 2010 | Rating: 3/5
