	Author	Review
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	A charming admixture of "Goodfellas" and "Almost Famous," "Killing Bono" is a fanciful rock tale that is nevertheless based on a true story (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer Variety	"This cleverly conceived, behind-the-scenes tale features fine lead performances and enough nods to the epic group's early days to interest fans outside the U.K"	POS
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"Hamm's movie is sparky and fun, and full of affectionate pokes at the '80s music scene. It's also, in terms of music biopics, probably better than the real thing"	POS
