The leather, the hats, the sideburns and the countless bottles of whiskey. The life of legendary frontman Lemmy Kilminster is chronicled in this documentary.

Critics Consensus

Lemmy offers fealty to its rock god subject with a consistently entertaining - if thoroughly uncritical - look at his incredible life and legacy.

4/5

It is an inspiring film not because of the whole sticking-to-his-guns thing, but because of the purity of it.

Crisply cut package shrewdly eschews the linear approach. Viewers are given a good look at Kilmister at home and on the road with Motorhead before segs covering his 45-year career are smoothly woven into the framework

This parade of admiration is almost as exhausting as the experience of a Motrhead concert

Lemmy is a fascinating, slightly overlong, almost-warts-and-all documentary about Motörhead's bassist/lead singer.

At times, the film smartly uses subtitles he is so hard to understand, but the whole movie could use them. However, these are small quibbles for a film that if you"re a longtime Lemmy fan, makes you feel great about having placed your faith in his hands.

4/5

While the film delights in bringing insight into the man's more private moments, it successfully reveals him to also be tremendously popular, both as an influence and a friend.

I love the hell out of this movie. I have long enjoyed hearing Lemmy speak over the years, and it was a blast watching this documentary. What a great way to honor the memory of this legend. I've seen this twice. I own the Blu Ray DVD and I'll certainly watch it again and again.

The greatest rock-doc of all time! Such a compelling story, even if you've never heard of Lemmy.

Love it. J'ai connu sa musique de son vivant, mais pas assez et surtout pas assez connu ce personnage intéressant.
