	Author	Review
United States	Phil Gallo Variety	"A film packed full of tales of pop-culture upheaval, one that touchingly displays the importance of elder musicians on this particular musician’s life."	POS
United Kingdom	Jim Farber The Guardian	"Other than one extraordinary scene at the movie’s end, and a few choice bits along the way, 'The Quiet One' skims the surface of the band’s history (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Candice Frederick The Wrap	"Not everything should be turned into a movie — certainly not the recorded diary entries of an aging rock star who can barely find elements in his story that are worth sharing with the world."	NEG
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"To watch 'The Quiet One' at this particular moment in time is to feel that not only is this a highly subjective take, but that you’re being a little jerked around here (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"An engaging documentary (...) Wyman narrates throughout, and his innate common sense can be persuasive"	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"The movie is congenial, self-effacing, and reasonably dull, and since it promises an inside look at 30 years of being a Rolling Stone, that has to be considered a disappointment."	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Although it makes extensive use of the copious film footage (...) somehow manages to make its provocative subject matter strangely decorous."	NEU
