Established in 1960, Tower Records was once a retail powerhouse with two hundred stores, in thirty countries, on five continents. From humble beginnings in a small-town drugstore, Tower Records eventually became the heart and soul of the music world, and a powerful force in the music industry. In 1999, Tower Records made $1 billion. In 2006, the company filed for bankruptcy. What went wrong? Everyone thinks they know what killed Tower Records: The Internet. But that's not the story. "All Things Must Pass" is a feature documentary film examining this iconic company's explosive trajectory, tragic demise, and legacy forged by its rebellious founder Russ Solomon.
Leave your thoughts about All Things Must Pass.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohA fun, often funny and moving movie tribute to a store which was once integrally woven, like the particular merchandise it purveyed, into the fabric of our lives. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlColin Hanks makes his feature directing debut with this irresistible documentary about the evolution of the music business. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonA documentary that inspires long, gauzy gazes back to the carefree, youthful past of viewers of a certain age. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonIt is much to the credit of Hanks and his collaborators that All Things Must Pass makes this particular iteration of the oft-told tale come across as freshly compelling, even poignant. |
| Portland OregonianJeff BakerAll Things Must Pass is a labor of love by actor Colin Hanks, a Sacramento native who grew up on the store. |
| Arizona RepublicBill Goodykoontz“No life, no music,” the Tower slogan read. For Solomon and the rest, it was more like a battle cry in a war they fought but ultimately couldn’t win. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe documentary stays entirely within the corporate world of record sales, which may seem an airless atmosphere to someone who never haunted such joints. Yet the movie gradually expands to give us a somewhat larger picture of the music business. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyIn this passionately nostalgic documentary, actor-turned-director Colin Hanks brings that era back to life, tracing the rise and fall of Russ Solomon’s retail music chain, which first opened its doors in Sacramento in 1960. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisOccasionally, “All Things” gets stuck in a groove of industry and business minutiae — a 10-minute trim would have made this film even better — but overall, this is an assured effort: informative, bittersweet and appealing for both the young and the not so young. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthHanks' insightful tribute to the retailer, and chronicle of their history, is the story of the music industry, who had it all, and believed the good times would last forever, only to see it all slip away. |
