Leave your thoughts about Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation.
| New York PostLou LumenickPerhaps the most fascinating vintage footage...depicts what happened in 1961 when the city sent police into Washington Square Park to stop the longtime Sunday practice of singing without a required permit. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohIts blandly generic title is all too disappointingly germane to this loving but far from incisive documentary covering a vital time in music history. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyA most enjoyable flashback. Laura Archibald's documentary about Ground Zero for the 1960s folk explosion -- and its enormous influence on the shape of rock music to come -- isn't assembled in a particularly distinctive manner, but the materials and voices culled offer more than enough reward in themselves. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA history lesson that holds some pleasures even for those who know its material by heart. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghThough lacking narrative focus, it offers rich impressions of a New York City artistic community that profoundly influenced American popular culture. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenGreenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation behaves altogether too much like the generation that got defined - yep, its starts out energetic and fresh only to age into tedious self-importance. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenEvokes the flavor of the era just before the music business exploded into a mass-market juggernaut. The film's pleasures are the same ones offered by a sprawling, lavishly illustrated magazine spread. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenDirector Laura Archibald's approach is fatally safe, often turning poets into self-congratulatory windbags. |
| User ReviewPerry TThe number of artists they interviewed was tremendous. Told the story from the musicians' point of view. |
| User ReviewTracy FThis is a great doc for people who were around during tat time period but it lacks a bit of framing or additional explanation for those who weren't. This was a time that was vital to the music industry but the film fails to give you a real sense of time and place unlike the far superior "Troubadours" which covers the same time period in the California music scene. Still, the music is amazing and some of the behind-the-scene stories were fun to listen to, I just wish that it were more focused. |
