Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song

"[It] has a better grasp of the artist’s ineffable appeal than most [films], and a smarter approach" 

"The documentary's account of the song's fate is a fascinating study in the mechanics and metaphysics of pop-culture memory" 

"There’s a beautiful mystery at [the heart of the song]. 'Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song' is smart enough to embrace that mystery and that beauty" 

"There’s some exciting, but too brief interview footage with former collaborators (...) These are smart and funny observations, but they’re just grace notes in a sprawling 115-minute-long movie (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"Depending on the version, the singer, the listener, the mood… [the song] takes on a different meaning for each person. I lost track of how many times I heard 'Hallelujah' in the film. Every one of them was amazing (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] often feels like the filmmakers had so much good Cohen material, they wanted to get it all in, whether or not there was room." 

"A unique and gratifying pop-music documentary (...) There’s totally an audience for a music doc this rich"
