This is a personal journey film about singer/songwriter John Mellencamp. It was made during his summer 2009 tour with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson; Mellencamp also recorded his new album in three historical locations during the month and a half tour. The story is told through the eyes of the father/son film making team of Kurt and Ian Markus, neither of whom had ever made a film before. The entire 90-minute film is shot on super8, to stunning effect. This is not a retrospective film with interviews. It is of the moment.
Leave your thoughts about John Mellencamp: It's About You.
| AV ClubNoel MurrayIt's About You's sound is relatively clean and dynamic, but there's nothing remotely resembling a narrative here. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibLuckily, the music trumps the indifferently shot concert footage and lends shape to the evocatively lensed recording sessions in iconic locations. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinUltimately, Kurt Markus, whose low-key narration punctuates the journey, seems to have learned as much about himself as about his titular subject - while enjoyably enlightening viewers about both. |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekThe result is a kind of homespun video scrapbook, bumpy seams and glue splotches and all; it's flawed, but at least it feels handmade and human. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThroughout it all, Markus and his son capture the poetic melancholy of a mostly rural America with an eloquence that recalls the photographs of Robert Frank. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA striking musical documentary about rock singer and songwriter John Mellencamp and the changes overtaking this musical genre and the heartland of America. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelSupplements concerts and recording. . .of Mellencamp's working-class, heartland music . .by making keen observations. . .like Studs Terkel looking at the decline of America. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern"It's About You" is an odd and touching little film. I'm glad I stuck it out. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineA movie so in love with atmospherics and self-examination that it completely loses track of its subject. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThis is a singularly amateurish and unrevealing documentary, shot on grainy Super 8 film from an all-too-respectful distance. |
