George Harrison: Living in the Material World Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Noel Murray
Despite the shagginess, Scorsese mostly stays focused on Harrison as a reflection of his fans, eternally searching for something elusive - something that only came around occasionally.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
Scorsese makes it into something more than a three-plus hour rehash of an oft-told tale.
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
A film that sheds a lot of light on its subject but at times can be a little too blissed out for its own good.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
It's a seductive and moving scrapbook made with an outward artistry and an inward conventionality.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
Perhaps all things must pass, but I would not pass this one up.
Baltimore Sun
David Zurawik
This is one of the most ambitious and daring biographical films that I have ever seen on TV.
Slate
Bill Wyman
By removing the edges that gave the man's life some bite, Martin Scorsese hasn't done George Harrison's legacy any favors.
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
It's not a film one particularly expected to be made but it's a vastly welcome one.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
It is exhaustive and loopy and it takes two nights to watch.
New York Daily News
David Hinckley
You'd like to think that being one of the Beatles had to be more fun than this long and surprisingly dry Martin Scorsese documentary makes it seem.
Philadelphia Daily News
Ellen Gray
Olivia Harrison's honesty contributes mightily to Scorsese's portrait of an artist more interesting than some of us may have realized.
San Francisco Chronicle
Joel Selvin
A convoluted mass of contradictory characteristics, with a little Vaseline on the lens to blur some of the less comfortably explained pieces of the story.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
A long, lovely meditation on the Beatle sometimes called the Quiet One and the quiet one sometimes called a Beatle.
New York Times
Mike Hale
An absorbing and beautifully made film in its own right, whose 208 minutes mostly fly by.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
A fitting, sonorous tribute to the pop idol, movie producer, spiritual searcher and constant gardener.
Salon.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
It's a problematic, at times off-putting, but ultimately fascinating work, moving through George's life with its own mysterious internal logic.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Scorsese has accomplished the best documentary that is probably possible.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A bloated hagiography that affords less insight the longer it goes on.
Variety
Peter Debruge
More than mere rock-doc hagiography, Material World reveals how a tortured millionaire struggled to tame his soul, understand life and ready himself for death.
