Bang! The Bert Berns Story Ratings & Reviews
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
As documentaries go, Bang! is fairly by the numbers but comes to life when the artists that performed for Berns share their stories on this eccentric and unique figure.
Seven Days (VT)
Rick Kisonak
The filmmakers do a highly entertaining and engaging job of introducing the world to a musical pioneer whose work it already knows by heart.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
Bang! The Bert Berns Story isn't one of the more essential boomer-nostalgia docs, but it hits the target more often than not.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The story itself is arresting, and if that's all "Bang" offered, that would be enough. But "Bang" does more.

Leonard Maltin
Bang! is brimming with anecdotes from the people who knew Berns best. Bert Berns may not be a household name, but once you see this documentary you won't listen to his songs without thinking of the man behind those chart-toppers.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
[The] impressive lineup of interview subjects properly tells the story of a man whose contributions to popular music have been largely unheralded.
Film Threat
Anthony Ray Bench
It has a ton of heart and a bevy of interesting interviewees who paint a clear and coherent picture of who Bert Berns was inside and outside of the music biz... It's a must see for any fan, new or old.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The documentary may not have widespread appeal, but should engross viewers who know the songs but not the man behind them.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Entertaining documentary about a very talented and unheralded 1960s songwriter.
Village Voice
Luke Y. Thompson
Blending stock footage, vintage audio, re-creation, and many testimonials from heavy hitters from Ben E. King to Van Morrison, Berns' son Brett keeps things visually lively ...
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Affectionate but still eye-opening look at songwriter and producer Bert Berns and his impact on 1960s rock music.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
If you love the music Berns made, you'll love this movie; if you don't, I feel for you, but "Bang!" might nevertheless entertain with its dish.
