3.5/5
The barrier that looms over so many posthumous artist biographies isn't broken through here, but Cutler's documentary does get you close up so you can feel the texture and sense the breadth of that wall. Go to Full Review

Ty Burr Boston Globe Dec 30, 2020
3/4

Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene Sep 9, 2021
Compiled for an oral history that came out a few years back, this film uses those first-person discussions as the framework to reconstruct a life upon, and it adds a great deal of emotional heft. Go to Full Review
