Movie Reviews

Nolan's Pop Culture Review - 10/10 by Michael A. Smith...a film that rivals "The Last Waltz" as the greatest concert film ever.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertMay be the most intimate documentary ever made about a live rock 'n' roll concert. Certainly it has the best coverage of the performances onstage.
Jerusalem Post - 10/10 by Hannah BrownShine A Light is a masterful concert film, one that will appeal to movie lovers and hardcore Stones admirers alike.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersOnce the Rolling Stones push "Jumpin' Jack Flash's" tempo toward a cliff, Scorsese treats "Shine a Light" like a character piece about artistic give-and-take, not a mere concert film. As long as the Stones are ambulatory, they're ageless.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Joel SelvinHe brings all his skills as a filmmaker to the film, but Scorsese did not achieve the monumental dimensions of his movie from cinematic savoir faire. Shine a Light is huge because the Stones are giants.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Peter Sobczynski"Shine a Light" is a spectacularly entertaining film that is an absolute must-see for anyone with even the vaguest interest in rock music in general and the Rolling Stones in particular.
Stop Smiling - 10/10 by Michael Joshua RowinIn many ways [Shine a Light is] an unintentional funeral dance commemorating the vanished vitality and subversive potential of mainstream rock 'n' roll and celebrating its current utility as a nostalgic anodyne.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Raoul HernandezDedicated to Atlantic Records fountainhead Ahmet Ertegun, whose complications from injuries sustained in a tumble backstage at the Beacon resulted in his death, let the record show that a lifetime of musical innovation concluded with dying not at but FROM a Rolling Stones concert.
Miami Herald - 9/10 by Rene RodriguezShine a Light provides the clearest and most intimate viewing experience of the band to date. It is also a happy circumstance that the group, now in their mid-60s, have rarely sounded tighter.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittI'm not convinced the world needs a handsomely assembled movie of the Stones doing their songs exactly the way they've been doing them for 40 years, especially since it's easy to dig up a dozen previous Stones concert films.
