Leave your thoughts about Enzo Avitabile Music Life.
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlDemme has crafted yet another superb document of musicians at work, one as much about creation—and the sources of inspiration—as it is about performance. A wonderful film, as in, it's full of wonders. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] "Enzo Avitabile, Music Life" is a music lover's dream. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA compelling documentary by Jonathan Demme that makes an altar out of our ears. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThe film feels like a first draft. But then there is the music to celebrate. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloIt’s easy to see why Demme admires the man, but amiability doesn’t make for a great documentary subject. If anything, it tends to be something of a drawback, offering only warm fuzzies. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyIn Enzo Avitabile Music Life, Demme has not given us an expansive film, and there are spots you wish he'd dug deeper. But there is such a well of emotion that the music alone is almost enough. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonA pencil sketch, and little more. For all the obvious optimism and positive energy that flow from him, Avitabile still remains an elusive figure as rendered here. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichThe scenes of the film’s exuberant, frizzy-haired protagonist wandering Naples and revisiting old haunts, however, seem much more unfocused—a ramshackle search for insights into the man’s art and life that rarely come. The instruments are in tune, but the rhythm is off. |
| The DissolveKeith PhippsIt’s possible that something’s getting lost in translation, but Demme’s film only occasionally makes it seem like it’s worth the effort for the rest of the world to catch up. |
| Slant MagazineSteve MacfarlaneEven if the film never transcends its subject matter, Jonathan Demme's light touch adds up to a charming portrait, only rarely fumbling into hagiography. |
