New York Doll Ratings & Reviews
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The Doll in the title of the fine, touching documentary New York Doll is far from a supermodel.
Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Bruce Bennett
Touching and funny, with an unforgettable ending that could not have been better if it were fiction. One of the best films of the year.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
The details, the personalities and the final twist grab you until you're left truly shaken and inspired.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Duane Dudek
In the end, it is hard to not feel that God does work in mysterious ways, if the life of Arthur 'Killer' Kane is any example.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The late Johnny Thunders didn't write You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory until after the Dolls had broken up, but this lovely little heartbreaker of a movie takes the sentiment as its own.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
[A] respectful and subtle look at the difference faith can make in one's life.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Becomes a lovely portrait of a man coming back to himself, without forgetting what else he's become.
Arizona Republic
Michael Senft
As the credits roll, New York Doll transforms from a puff piece about an aging rock star into a moving rumination on a man's final grasp for redemption.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Makes for a modestly touching journey.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Poignant and moving, with an ending no screenwriter could improve on, New York Doll is like the best episode of VH1's Bands Reunited ever.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
New York Doll has a killer surprise ending that may leave even hard-core punkers reaching for the Kleenex.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
The film paints an affectionate portrait of a wry, somewhat addled man whose hard-partying past was in stark contrast with his later life -- a fluffy cat nestles in his guitar case while he explains his nickname.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Greg Whiteley's small, tender documentary portrait looks at life after rock 'n' roll as experienced by the original bassist for the New York Dolls.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
As journeys go, this is one to treasure.
Newsday
John Anderson
A funny, exhilarating and ultimately bittersweet paean to an era and a man.
Village Voice
Robert Christgau
Surely there have been filmmakers who knew less about music going into their first music documentary than Greg Whiteley, but none springs to mind.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Poves that Mormonism and makeup-adorned punk rock aren't oil and water entities.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A charmer.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A tender take on life after stardom.
