Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll Ratings & Reviews
The Crisis
Norman Riley
As informative as it is entertaining.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
This isn't a warts-and-all documentary about an often temperamental individual, although some of the warts are exposed.
United Press International
John Swenson
Part documentary, part concert film, Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll is a detailed, no-holds-barred look at one of the most important and mysterious figures in rock history.
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll is as long and unwieldy as its title, but it's probably the most revealing look we'll ever get of its subject, and the most loving evocation of his music.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
This portrait of Mr. Berry is downbeat, and in some ways incomplete; it's very different from what might have been expected. But in its own way, Mr. Hackford's film is revealing.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
What one misses most of all are some glimpses of the earlier Chuck Berry, when the intensity of his music and his jackrabbit moves had more satanic majesty; too much of this film shows him at half-throttle.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Wilmington
It's a great concert, but it's also a fascinating character study.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Overlong but marvelously energetic.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
The film works on two levels: as a portrait of a private, bitter and streetwise man, and as a major musical talent performing with obvious delight.
Variety
Variety Staff
Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll is a joyous docu that effortlessly weaves luminary rock interviews with performance footage mostly shot at Berry's 60th birthday bash concert at the Fox Theatre St Louis.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Entertaining as it often is, Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll! could have used a little less showmanship, a little more confidence in its wonderful subject.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
Whatever the grammatic contortions of its title, Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock `n` Roll offers a compelling portrait of a hardened veteran of the business called show.
People Magazine
Ralph Novak
Hackford just lets his cameras roll -- and the film rocks.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Does just what the title says--and with great spunk.
