Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?) Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
It's a shame that, given Nilsson's musical stature, that the film about his life seems less like capturing his spirit than just dully tracing his life.
Decider
Benjamin H. Smith
Informative and entertaining, filled with hilarious stories and illuminating anecdotes which help you understand why he was so universally adored, despite the glaring flaws in his character.

Sean Axmaker
The name may not be instantly recognizable but Harry Nilsson (who died of cancer in 1994) was once the golden boy of American pop music.

Sean Axmaker
John Sheinfeld's portrait revisits the man, the artist and the reputation, with a wealth of TV performance clips and interviews with friends, family and colleagues...
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
You will leave the theater singing, if with a touch of melancholy.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A personal, generous tribute reel designed to keep a musical master's legacy very much alive.
Boxoffice Magazine
Steve Simels
On the one hand, the film is a cautionary too-much-too-soon story that was a clich even before what Casey Kasem refers to as the Rock Era; on the other hand, it also has enough touching, amusing and/or appalling episodes to make it compulsively watchable
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Conventional in style and is likely to mean more to the sadly forgotten musician's fans than to others.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The point of it is not, in the end, to explain him or solve the mystery of his life, but rather to spend time in his company and understand why he is someone to be missed.
AV Club
Noel Murray
There's been so little written about Nilsson or archiving of his work that Who Is Harry Nilsson is a godsend just for bringing together so much rare footage.
Village Voice
Andrew Schenker
Sticking closely to the archival footage and talking-heads formula, it's the quality of the former and the sense of personal involvement in the latter that elevates the film above the run-of-the-mill rockumentary.
Film Journal International
David Noh
This rich portrait of a most complex artist beautifully, movingly and humorously explains the enigma, glory and tragedy of his life.

Cole Smithey
...does something that few such films accomplish: it allows the audience to feel as though they have walked a mile in a man's shoes.
