A documentary set on the eve of Tony Bennett's 85th birthday.
Leave your thoughts about The Zen of Bennett.
| New York PostLou LumenickLike with any great singer, it's often the telling pauses of the man born Anthony Benedetto that say the most in The Zen of Bennett. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenIn simple, blunt language he exalts "quality," "warmth," "feeling," "truth" and "beauty," without trying to define or elaborate on those concepts. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonLike the singer himself - smooth and classy. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThis is when the movie earns its hushed exclusivity and kitschy title, when we see an art form bridge generations with a strange mixture of grace, joy and melancholy. |
| IndiewireEric KohnRecording "Body and Soul" with Bennet only a short period before her death, Winehouse's simultaneously effusive presence not only illustrates her fragility but stands in sharp contrast to the stable work ethic that Bennett has cultivated over the course of his 60-year career. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyWhile the result is sure to appeal to the star's fans, they may find this less-than-definitive portrait distractingly arty at times, while viewers attracted by such up-to-the-moment talents as Lady Gaga will wonder why the picture doesn't bother providing a little more explanatory background about that old guy she's singing with. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid GuzmanAs simple as Tony Bennett's life is, his magic could've used a documentary less simple-minded than The Zen of Bennett to explain it. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFans will love its intimate mood and class-act portrayal of its subject; Dion Beebe's cinematography boasts the expected polish, but the film will likely be most popular on small screens. |
| Time OutDavid FearWatching the elder statesman spin ring-a-ding wisdom is one thing; witnessing his generosity to another artist who couldn't handle her own talent, however, speaks volumes about what actually lurks under his placid, seemingly imperturbable surface. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottIt feels a bit like a classed-up infomercial at times, but it's still as much a treat to witness Bennett's process as it is to see him interact with today's young stars. |
