Leave your thoughts about I Called Him Morgan.
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsTo paraphrase an age-old maxim, Hell hath no fury like a Helen scorned! |
| Film InquiryArlin GoldenIt's rare that a film makes you feel so acutely in its brief run-time, covering albums and addictions alike, but I Called Him Morgan accomplishes just that. |
| The Critical Movie CriticsFrank OchiengThere has not been a penetrating and provocative documentary in my recent memory that chronicles with such curiosity, the insight and intimacy into the musical process and romantic partnership disillusionment |
| National Newspaper Publishers Association Dwight Brown[Lee Morgan's] life was as colorful and tragic. His talent as deep. This enlightening and haunting documentary gives him his due. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsLayering experiences and impressions, music and image, Kasper Collin's remarkable film is less concerned with history than with effects, influences that stretch across time, ideas that shape art. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerMorgan's relationship with Helen was so star-crossed and layered it's a mystery why the story hasn't yet been made into a biopic. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarI Called Him Morgan is a first-rate documentary. It's also the perfect impetus to explore Morgan's catalogue. |
| The NationStuart Klawans[I Called Him Morgan] is by turns invigorating, startling, mournful, and revelatory. It does not bring the past into the present; rather, it takes you into a period that's gone and shows it to you with more richness than you've known. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelThe director's patience over many years in meticulously putting all the elements together...beautifully recovers the memory and artistry of Lee Morgan and his milieu. |
| Village VoiceMichael J. AgovinoThe interview-"an amazing document," Collin says-enriches the documentary and transforms it into a story within the story. |
