Movie Reviews

Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Bill GoodykoontzDirectors Drew DeNicola and Olivia Mori’s film Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me looks at the band’s rise, such as it was, and its inevitable crumbling, as well as the influence its recorded legacy had on popular music. And it’s terrific.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Chris NashawatyIf Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me leads even one person to listen to Big Star for the first time, this movie will have done a great service.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris HewittIf you're not already a fan of the power pop godfathers, "Big Star" could make you one.
McClatchy-Tribune News Service - 8/10 by Roger MooreIt’s a fascinating period in music and an equally fascinating story of promise, talent, expectations and failure. But you can’t help but feel that Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me won’t settle the most important argument of all to the unconverted — Were they as good as the hype?
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Bill WeberA rock-doc that mythologizes the tragicomic flame out of power pop's seminal band, and the fan-made afterlife that brought them long-delayed success.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 8/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)If you're not already a fan of the power pop godfathers, "Big Star" could make you one.
Dallas Morning News - 8/10 by Chris VognarIt feels thorough, and very affectionate. It just needs more of a narrative hook, a through-line from start to finish that can enhance the story for those not yet in the club.
Laramie Movie Scope - 8/10 by Robert RotenI thought the film worked best when it was concentrating on Big Star, but wandered a bit when it drifted on to what happened to band members after the breakup. The film has a melancholy feel to it.
Total Film - 8/10 by Kevin HarleyThe downside of their cult stature is a shortfall of footage, but the music is uncannily gorgeous, well deployed and copious: for non-initiates, it'll be like finding lost treasure.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 8/10 by John BeifussA true passion project: A movie that is both a smart, definitive documentary and the ultimate love letter to its subject, the 1970s Memphis power pop band that proved vastly more popular and influential after its dissolution than when it was active.
