| 3AWJim SchembriVery good, lovingly made, adoring valentine to Australian songwriter extraordinaire Paul Kelly, whose ups and downs, failings and frailties are carefully unpacked and explored. |
| User ReviewAdam SAn entertaining portrait of one of Australia's greatest musicians, "Stories of Me" doesn't delve as deep as it could into the enigmatic personality of Kelly himself, but acts as more of a portrait of the music and it's connections to real life. And it is a truly beautiful body of music that Paul Kelly has written. This is an entertaining documentary. |
| User ReviewTrevor HIt's not that this isn't an interesting film, it's that when it gets to the nitty gritty the film just jumps to something else. His habitual infidelity is skimmed over until almost the very end and his heroin use seems hardly worth a mention ("I used it for 25 years but decided to give it up before I had a problem"... yeah, right). I felt the film was guilty of turning away when it should have held up a spotlight and was thus disappointing. The use of lyrics on the screen was annoying. |
