Listen to Me Marlon Ratings & Reviews
Complex
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Through its ups and downs, Listen to Me, at its core, is a gift for the fans. It's like an audiobook for the cinephiles and Brando lovers-almost like a bedtime story from Brando himself.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's a one-of-a-kind film about a one-of-a-kind screen legend, a man who transformed acting without ever really knowing what he thought of it.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
More than a Hollywood bio, Listen to Me Marlon is a story of demons being passed from one generation to the next.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Using a ghostly digital rendition of the actor's face on a computer screen to embody his words, the filmmakers make Brando eerily come alive at times to tell his story. Wow. It's nothing short of transcendent.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's as if Riley has ushered us into the darkened chamber of the actor's memories, where Brando himself can whisper in our ear.
Washington Post
Jen Chaney
It's a thoroughly subjective and effective attempt to capture how it must have felt to be Marlon Brando.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Riley's film brings the American icon's career back into sharp focus.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
You think the man could act? You should hear him talk.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The actor suffered deeply, and however much he's responsible for that, it's hard not to feel some compassion for a bright and sensitive artist who, at least early on, seemed full of life.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Brando reflects on his contribution to the art of the movies; his view seems to shift over the years from pride to cynicism, but Riley doesn't identify the recordings by date. Rather, he melds them into a banal concoction that's unworthy of their source.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
I was torn watching this film. You feel Brando's pain, and yet it is the fundament of all those great performances.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
Part of Riley's achievement is a simple matter of assembly. His editing manages to find a movie amid all of Brando's raving, pontification, and truly deep thinking. The enlaced audiovisual material becomes as intoxicatingly impressionistic as 3-D Brando.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Autobiographical in nature, unconventional in structure, this is the story of Marlon Brando not as the world saw him but as he saw himself.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Although movies about celebrities are often fatuous and superfluous, that's anything but the case with Stevan Riley's "Listen to Me Marlon."
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
A wondrously sly, moving, odd portrait-perfectly befitting its subject.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
The definitive portrait of a man still frequently cited as the world's greatest actor.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
The result is fascinating. That goes both for acting students, since we get insights into Brando's craft, and those looking for gossip.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
A first-rate, first-person dissection of his life by the talented, charming and oft-troubled actor, Brando.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The actor's ruminations are sometimes barely coherent but more often delightful: by turns bawdy, sentimental, self-pitying, self-lacerating, philosophical and bewildered.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Stevan Riley's Listen to Me Marlon is the greatest, most searching documentary of an actor ever put on film, and it's no coincidence that it's about film's greatest and most searching actor.
