- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone who likes learning something new. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to The Last Waltz.

- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- A big, patient story, at 2 hr 31 min.
