Ain't in It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
[A] bittersweet, frustratingly impressionistic documentary ...
New York Times
A.O. Scott
An affectionate tribute and a gift for fans who grew fond of his company on records or at concerts and who would like a little bit more.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Loose and ragtag, stirring and poignant, the documentary "Ain't in It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm" proves a fitting tribute to its late star ...
New York Daily News
Jim Farber
Director Jacob Hatley clearly earned the complete trust of Helm's inner circle, enough to capture the icon's crusty humor, singular talent and significant bravery in the face of his fate.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
It's a sympathetic portrait of an artist whose heart lay more with new work than old glories, right up to the end.
Punch Drunk Critics
Mae Abdulbaki
A missed opportunity to delve deeper and get a more intimate portrait of the man behind the drums.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
And of all the figures - Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, et al. - who smuggled those sepia-toned seeds into rock 'n' roll, Helm, was arguably the most authentic.
NPR
Keith Phipps
Despite his flashes of bitterness, the Helm captured here seems like a man at peace with where he ended up - however taxing the road that brought him, however many friends lost or discarded along the way.
Village Voice
Peter Gerstenzang
For the fans left bereft by his 2012 death, it's impossible to imagine a more exquisite, honest, and beautifully detailed documentary about the life of Levon Helm than Jacob Hatley's Ain't in It for My Health.
Variety
John Anderson
What keeps "Ain't in It for My Health" from being a really satisfying portrait isn't a lack of access, but a lack of intimacy.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Heartfelt tribute to musician Levon Helm receives a theatrical release on the anniversary of his death in 2012.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
A portrait of a tough American musical spirit, fighting through until the end and taking energy and solace from the music he created.
