Leave your thoughts about Just an American Boy: A Film About Steve Earle.
| Boston GlobeJoan AndermanEarle's song introductions, like those of his mentors Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, are as meaty, pointed, and touching as the tunes themselves, and his spoken words -- full of humor and humanity -- are the heart of the film. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumProvides an interesting introduction to a compelling figure in contemporary pop music. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenA crude but stirring video documentary filmed over last year and this by Amos Poe, while Mr. Earle and his band were on tour. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIn performance, Earle comes across as a successor to Woody Guthrie or Johnny Cash. In this fawning portrait, however, he seems more like music's Michael Moore. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonDecidedly low-tech and not always particularly coherent or cohesive. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWill best be appreciated by those who are already firmly in Earle's camp. |
| Chicago TribuneMonica EngMight have struck a deeper chord with fans who are still looking for the Steve Earle who exists behind the music. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA mediocre music documentary about veteran country rocker and activist Steve Earle, who created a furor with a song sympathetic to American Taliban John Walker Lindh. |
| Village VoiceJosh GoldfeinLooking puffier than he did in New York last month, Earle gets his band together, rewrites his play about executed Christian Karla Faye Tucker on the eve of opening night, defends his patriotism (and yours), and flogs the current LP. And then he rocks some more. |
| PremiereLaine EwenEarle fans might see this film as a satisfying portrayal of a man they know and love, but those unfamiliar with the man and his music will likely leave the theater without much more interest in him than when the movie began. |
